Foreword to the operating instructions
These operating instructions are designed to familiarize the
user with the machine/plant and its designated use.
The instruction manual contains inportant information on
how to operate the machine/plant safely, properly and most
efficiently. Observing these instructions helps to avoid
danger, to reduce repair costs and downtimes and to
increase the reliability and life of the machine/plant.
The instruction manual is to be supplemented by the
respective national rules and regulations for accident
prevention and environmental protection.
The operating instructions must always be available
wherever the machine/plant is in use.
These operating instructions must be read and applied by
any persons in charge of carrying out work with and on the
machine/plant such as
- operation including setting up, troubleshooting in the
course of work, evacuation of production waste, care and
disposal of fuels and consumables.
- maintenance (servicing, inspection, repair) and/or
- Transport
In addition to the operating instructions and to the mandato-
ry rules and regulations for accident prevention and envi-
ronmental protection in the country and place of use of the
machine/plant, the generally recognized technical rules for
safe and proper working must also be observed.
Fundamental safety instructions
Warning and symbols
The following signs and designations are used in the
manual to designate instructions of particular importance
Note/Attention: refers to special information on
how to use the machine/plant
most efficiently
Symbol: refers to orders and prohibitions
designed prevent injury or
extensive damage
Basic operation and designated use of the machine/
plant
The machine/plant has been built in accordance with state-
of-the-art standards and the recognized safety rules.
Nevertheless, its use may constitute a risk to life and limb
of the user or of third parties, or cause damage to the
machine and to other material property.
The machine/plant must only be used in technically perfect
condition in accordance with its designated use and the
instructions set out in the operating manual, and only by
safety-conscious persons who are fully aware of the risks
involved in operating the machine/plant. Any functional
disorders, especially those affecting the safety of the
machine/plant, should therefore be rectified immediately.
The machine is meant exclusively for cutting leaved
materials, such as paper, cardboard or plastic films.
Any other use, such as the cutting of harder, especially
thicker materials and materials of other kinds, as well as
any further use beyond this, is considered as not being in
accordance with the designated use. Such materials may
be processed only according to prior agreement with the
manufacturer of this machine and after a written confirma-
tion by the manufacturer. The manufacturer/supplier cannot
be held liable for any damage resulting from such use. The
risk of such misuse lies entirely with the user.
Operating the machine within the limits of its designated
use also involves the instructions set out in the operating
manual and complying with the inspection and maintenance
directives.
Organizational measures
The operating instructions must always be at hand at the
place of use of the machine/plant.
In addition to the operating instructions, observe and
instruct the user in all other generally applicable legal and
other mandatory regulations relevant to accident prevention
and environmental protection.
These compulsory regulations may also deal with the
handling of hazardous substances, issuing and/or wearing
of personal protective equipment, or traffic regulations.
The operating instructions must be supplemented by
instructions covering the duties involved in supervising and
notifying, special organizational features, such as job
organization, working sequences or the personnel entrusted
with the work.
Personnel entrusted with work on the machine must have
read the operating instructions and in particular the chapter
on safety before beginning work. Reading the instructions
after work has begun is too late. This applies especially to
persons working only ocassionally on the machine, e. g.
during setting up or maintenance.
Check - at least from time to time - whether the personnel is
carrying out the work in compliance with the operating
instructions and paying attention to risks and safety factors.
For reasons of security, long hair must be tied back or
otherwise secured, garments must be close-fitting and no
jewellery - such as rings - may be worn. Injury may result
from being caught up in the machinery or from rings
catching on moving parts.
Use protective wherever required by equipment by the
circumstances or by law.
