This manual must be kept in the immediate vicinity of the machine. The manual
must be accessible at all times to all persons working on or with the machine. The
machine may only be operated if it is in proper working order and in safe condi-
tion. The general condition of the machine must be checked and the machine
must be inspected for visible defects each time before it is switched on. Do not
leave the machine running unattended. Secure the switched-off machine against
unauthorized operation (padlock on the main switch, remove the key from the
operating mode selector switch, block off the area around the machine, etc.). All
instructions in this manual must be strictly followed without exception. In addition
to the safety advice and instructions stated in this manual, it is necessary to con-
sider and observe local accident prevention regulations, general safety regula-
tions as well as current environmental stipulations that apply to the operational
range of the machine. The operator and designated personnel are responsible for
the trouble-free operation of the machine as well as for clearly establishing who is
in charge of installing, servicing, maintaining and cleaning the machine. Keep
children away from machines, tools and accessories.
Only authorised and trained personnel may work on and with the machine. Per-
sonnel must be briefed about all functions and potential dangers of the machine.
"Qualified personnel" is a term that refers to those who – due to their professional
training, know-how, experience, and knowledge of relevant regulations – are in a
position to assess delegated tasks and recognise potential risks. If the personnel
lack the necessary knowledge for working on or with the machine, they must be
trained. Responsibility for working with the machine (installation, service, mainte-
nance, overhaul) must be clearly defined and strictly observed. Only those people
who can be expected to carry out their work reliably may be given permission to
work on or with the machine. Personnel must refrain from working in ways that
could harm others, the environment or the machine itself. It is absolutely forbidden
for anyone who is under the influence of drugs, alcohol or reaction-impairing
medication to work on or with the machine. When appointing personnel to work
on the machine, it is necessary to observe all local regulations regarding age and
professional status. The machine may only be operated by an adult, that is
without mental limitations or under the supervision of such a person. The user is
also responsible for ensuring that unauthorised people remain at a safe distance
from the machine. Personnel are obliged to immediately report any irregularities
with the machine that might compromise safety to the operator.
Following the safety advice and instructions given in this manual can prevent
bodily injury and material damage while working on and with the machine.
Failure to observe these instructions can lead to bodily injury and damage to or
destruction of the machine. Disregard of the safety advice and instructions given
in this manual as well as the accident prevention regulations and general safety
regulations applicable to the operative range of the machine shall release the
manufacturer and their authorised representatives from any liability and from any
compensation claims.
