Notes on work safety

Pay particular attention to the following safety instructions:
– The SP 5080 shredder and baling press combination has been inspected for safety by an
accredited test and certifi cation board.
Nevertheless, incorrect operation and misuse can result in:
• Serious or fatal injury to the operator
• Damage to the machine and other material assets of the company
• Ineffi cient machine operation
– The SP 5080 shredder and baling press combination has been built with the most up-to-date
technology. However, the machine can be dangerous if improperly used, even by trained
staff, or if used for purposes other than those for which it was designed.
– The operation of the shredder and baling press combination is always subject to local safety
and accident prevention regulations.
– The employer must observe and adhere to the "minimum requirements for health and
safety protection for the use of work equipment by employees at work".
(Machinery Directive 2009/104/EC)
– The shredder and baling press combination may not be operated by anyone under
16 years of age.
– All those charged with installation, disassembly, re-assembly, inspection, maintenance or
repair of the press must have fi rst read and fully understood the entire operating manual,
paying particular attention to the "Safety" section.
– The shredder and baling press combination may only be operated, serviced and repaired
by authorised, trained staff. These staff must have been given special instructions on any
dangers which may arise.
– Areas of personal responsibility for installation, disassembly, re-assembly, set-up, operation
and maintenance must be clearly defi ned and strictly adhered to, in order to avoid confusion
which might compromise safety.
– When carrying out installation, disassembly, re-assembly, set-up, operation, adjustment and
maintenance work, always observe the shutdown procedures described in the operating
manual. Never perform this kind of work on the machine unless it is fully shut down.
– Before performing such tasks, make sure the drives and additional mechanisms of the
machine cannot be switched on unintentionally. Turn the main switch to the "0" position and
secure it. Pull out the power plug.
– Before starting the machine after maintenance work, make sure that all protective devices
are in place.
