The Operator And The Machine - GEISMAR MP.12 Manual

1.3.2 – The operator and the machine
Before each use, check that machine operation
■
and condition conform to the instructions. In
particular, ensure that the control devices operate
freely and are in the "off" or "disengaged"
position. Do not make any modifications that
would affect proper operation of these devices.
All the protective parts must be kept strictly in
■
place and in good condition.
Always keep the machine in a good state of
■
cleanliness and eliminate any accumulation of
dust, in particular when it could soak up
flammable products.
Always work moving in a forward direction.
■
When working, always hold the machine with
■
both hands in order to remain in control at all
times and to be certain to operate it safely.
Never place the machine near a flame or a
■
source of heat (except when weld grinding).
Never place the machine on hot or protruding
■
parts that could damage any of its parts (tanks,
exhaust, casings, etc.).
Never leave the machine with the engine
■
running, even when idling. Stop the engine
immediately when you stop using the machine.
After stopping the engine, wait for the moving
parts to come to a complete standstill.

Operations on the electrical installations of the
■
machine can only be carried out by accredited
persons.
It is necessary to read and understand all the
■
signs placed on the machine and to comply with
their instructions.
The signs present on the machine contain
■
pictograms, nameplates and instruction labels.
They must be cleaned, or replaced if they are
damaged, missing or illegible. If one of these items
is found on a replaced part, a new item must be
present on the spare part. Please contact us in this
matter.
Perform the hoisting operations using the
■
hooking points specially provided on the machine.
Insofar as possible, hoisting operations should
■
be limited to machine handling. If a machine has
to remain suspended (e.g. for a maintenance
operation), the hazardous area must be marked
out to ensure that no-one stands under the
machine or moves around near it.
Never use fuel for cleaning work. Only use
■
fireproof, non-toxic products that are harmless
for both the user and the equipment.
The machine must never be used for any
other purpose than that for which it was
intended.
Never touch a moving part with a
utensil, with your hand or with any other
part of your body.
It is essential to stop the engine and
leave the control device on the OFF
position before carrying out:
-Handling work
-Tool or wrench changes
-Work involving fuel and oils (filling, level
monitoring, draining, etc.)
- Repair, maintenance and cleaning work
