SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
I.
LEVEL OF TRAINING AND
I.I.
KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED OF THE
TECHNICIAN
The Technician is a specialised person that
has been specially trained and authorised
to carry out the following operations in ac-
cordance with current regulations: transport
and handling, storage, installation, commis-
sioning, maintenance, decommissioning, dis-
mantling and disposal of the machine.
The Technician must be properly trained
and informed regarding any residual risks
present during these operations and while
the machine is operating.
The Technician must be able to apply all the
good practices in compliance with food hy-
giene principles.
Any unauthorised tampering with
any parts of the machine renders
the guarantee null and void and relieves
the manufacturer of any liability should
the machine malfunction or any user ac-
cidents occur.
I.II. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Even though the machine is provided with
all safety devices required to eliminate pos-
sible risks for the Technician, there are still
certain residual risks.
These so-called residual risks are related to
machine parts that may pose a risk to the
Technician, if used improperly, evaluated
or deactivated incorrectly, because the pre-
scriptions contained in this Manual were cir-
cumvented.
The machine is also equipped with appropri-
ate warnings placed on residual risk areas,
which must be scrupulously observed.
TECHNICIANS' manual
Attention must be paid to the residual risks
that are present during the operations de-
scribed in the following paragraphs as they
cannot be eliminated:
Compliance with the installation and ma-
chine's safety standards is dependent on
the use, installation, maintenance and cor-
rect operation of the machine. These fac-
tors are the responsibility of the purchaser,
Technician and Technician's employer.
The Technician's employer is responsible for
hiring and training personnel to correctly in-
stall, run and perform maintenance work on
the machine and its protection systems.
I.III. TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Hand crushing hazard
Handling operations must always and ex-
clusively be performed by the Technician
and in compliance with the current health
and safety regulations.
Before starting the transport and/or han-
dling manoeuvres, check the route, dimen-
sions needed, safety distances, places suit-
able for placing the load down, and the
appropriate equipment for the operation.
Handling operations must be carried out by
at least 2 people, or with the help of special
lifting equipment.
In view of the substantial weight of the equip-
ment, exercise great caution during the han-
dling operations.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any
injury or damage caused by clothing, lifting
equipment and personal equipment which
was not suitable for the type of intervention
that the operator had to carry out.
The packaging material must not be left
within the reach of children, since it is a po-
tential source of danger.
