WARNING
For protection against indirect contacts (depending on the type of supply
provided for and connection of earths to the equipotential protection circuit)
refer to point 6.3.3 of EN 60204-1 (IEC 60204-1) with the use of protection
devices that ensure automatic cut-off of the supply in case of isolation fault in
the TN or TT systems or, for IT systems, the use of isolation controllers or
differential current protection devices to activate automatic power disconnec-
tion (an isolation controller must be provided for indicating a possible first
earth fault of a live part, unless a protection device is supplied for switching off
the power in case of a such a fault. This device must activate an acoustic and/
or visual signal which must continue for the entire duration of the fault). For
example: in a TT system, a differential switch with cut-in current (e.g. 30 mA)
coordinated with the earthing system of the building where the machine is
located must be installed ahead of the supply.

TRANSPORT, HANDLING AND STORAGE
D.1
Introduction
Transport (i. e. transfer of the machine from one place to
another) and handling (i. e. transfer inside workplaces) must
occur with the use of special and adequate means.
WARNING
Due to their size, the machines
cannot be stacked on top of each
other during transport, handling
and storage; this eliminates any
risks of loads tipping over due to
stacking.
NOTE!
Specialised personnel must:
• have specific technical training and experience
in the use of lifting systems;
• have knowledge of the safety regulations and
applicable laws in the relevant sector;
• have knowledge of the general safety rules;
• ensure the use of personal protection equip-
ment suitable for the type of operation carried
out;
• be able to recognise and avoid any possible
hazard.
D.2
Transport: instructions for the carrier
WARNING
Do not stand under suspended
loads during loading/ unloading
operations. Unauthorised per-
sonnel must not enter the work
area.
The weight of the appliance
alone is not sufficient to keep it
steady.
NOTE!
The transported load can shift:
• when braking;
• when accelerating;
• in corners;
• on rough roads.
D.3
Procedures for handling operations
For correct and safe lifting operations:
• use the type of equipment most suitable for characteristics
and capacity (e.g. electric pallet truck or lift truck);
• cover sharp edges;
Before lifting:
• send all operators to a safe position and prevent persons
from entering the handling area;
• make sure the load is stable;
• make sure no material can fall during lifting. Manoeuvre
vertically in order to avoid impacts;
• handle the machine, keeping it at minimum height from the
ground.
WARNING
For machine lifting and anchor-
ing, do not use movable or weak
parts such as: casings, electrical
raceways, pneumatic parts, etc.
D.4
Shifting
The operator must:
• have a general view of the path to be followed;
• stop the manoeuvre in case of hazardous situations.
WARNING
Do not push or pull the appliance
to move it, as it may tip over.
D.5
Placing the load
Before placing the load, make sure the way is free and that the
floor is flat and can take the load. Remove the appliance from
the wooden pallet, move it to one side, then slide it onto the
floor.
