Introduction

The machines are provided with electric and/or mechanical
safety devices for protecting workers and the machine itself.
Therefore the user must not remove or tamper with such
devices. The Manufacturer declines any liability for damage
due to tampering or their non-use.
D.2 Protection devices installed on the
machine
D.2.1

Guards

The guards on the machine are:
• fixed guards (e.g. casings, covers, side panels, etc.), fixed
to the machine and/or frame with screws or quick-release
connectors that can only be removed or opened with tools;
Therefore the user must not remove or tamper with such
devices. The Manufacturer declines any liability for damage
due to tampering or their non-use.
• interlocked movable guards (door) for access inside the
machine;
• machine electrical equipment access doors, made from
hinged panels openable with tools. The door must not be
opened when the machine is connected to the power supply.

Instructions for use and maintenance

Risks mainly of a mechanical, thermal and electrical nature
exist in the machine. Where possible the risks have been
neutralised:
• directly, by means of adequate design solutions.
• indirectly by using guards, protection and safety devices.
Any anomalous situations are signalled on the control panel
display.
During maintenance several risks remain, as these could not
be eliminated, and must be neutralised by adopting specific
measures and precautions.
Do not carry out any checking, cleaning, repair or maintenance
operations on moving parts. Workers must be informed of this
prohibition by means of clearly visible signs.
To guarantee machine efficiency and correct operation,
periodical maintenance must be carried out according to the
instructions given in this manual.
Make sure to periodically check correct operation of all the
safety devices and the insulation of electrical cables, which
must be replaced if damaged.
WARNING
Extraordinary machine mainte-
nance operations must only be
carried out by specialised per-
sonnel provided with all the
appropriate personal protection
equipment (safety shoes, gloves,
glasses, overalls, etc.), tools,
utensils and ancillary means.
WARNING
Never operate
removing, modifying or tamper-
ing with the guards, protection or
safety devices.
IMPORTANT
Before carrying out any operation on the machine,
always consult the manual which gives the correct
procedures and contains important information on
safety.

includes:
• lack of machine maintenance, cleaning and periodical
checks;
• structural changes or modifications to the operating logic;
• tampering with the guards or safety devices;
• failure to use personal protection equipment by operators,
specialised personnel and maintenance personnel;
• failure to use suitable accessories (e. g. use of unsuitable
equipment or ladders);
• keeping combustible or flammable materials, or in any case
materials not compatible with or pertinent to the work, near
the machine;
• wrong machine installation;
• placing in the machine any objects or things not compatible
with its use, or that can damage the machine, cause injury
or pollute the environment;
• climbing on the machine;
• non-compliance with the requirements for correct machine
use;
• other actions that give rise to risks not eliminable by the
Manufacturer.
