Residual risks

The safety instructions in this manual serve as guidelines for trained
operating personnel in safe working practice with the machine. The
manufacturer cannot however foresee all possible product-related
hazards. This is why the safety instructions and warnings on the ma-
chine and in this manual cannot be considered exhaustive. The oper-
ating company and operating personnel remain ultimately responsible
for safety.

Obligations of the operating company

1.7.1

Creating the operating directive

The machine and operating materials are a potential source of haz-
ards. The operating company is obliged to draw up an operating di-
rective. The operating directive regulates the handling of hazardous
machines or operating materials, as well as laying down rules for be-
haviour in the case of an emergency. The required information can be
found in the following documents:
• The EC directives for worker protection.
• National legislation.
• Accident prevention regulations.
• The machine instruction manual.
1.7.2

Monitoring obligation

The operating company is obliged to continuously monitor the condi-
tion of the entire machine, for example:
• Visible defects or damage.
• Changes in the operating behaviour.
• Age of the machine.
The operating company is obliged to ensure, that the machine is no
longer operated when it is older than 19 years. The correct function-
ing of the safety functions for the electronic components can no
longer be guaranteed after this age. The year of manufacture on the
type plate of the machine serves as the starting point for assessing
the age. In order to be able to operate the machine after this, the op-
erating company must commission the manufacturer to check the
safety functions of the machine.
