1.7. Essential qualifications
The machine was designed and built after considering a risk analysis and after careful
selection of harmonised standards, as well as further technical specifications, to be com-
plied with. It thereby corresponds with the current state of technology and guarantees the
very highest safety standards.
In working practice this degree of safety can be achieved only if all the measures that it
requires are met. It is down to the duty of care of the operating company to plan these
measures and to control their implementation.
In particular, the operating company must ensure that
• the machine is used only in accordance with specification (on this, see chapters
1.4 to 1.6),
• the machine is operated only in perfect functional condition and that the safety
equipment in particular is regularly checked for satisfactory functionality,
• the Operating Manual is always available in a complete and legible condition at
the place where the machine is installed,
• all the safety and warning notices installed on the machine have not been re-
moved and remain legible.
The machine may be operated only by personnel who have been appropriately instructed,
have received on-the-job training and are properly authorised. These personnel must be
familiar with the Operating Manual and act in accordance with it. Current authorisations for
operating personnel must be clearly established.
Operating personnel under training may for the time being work on the machine only un-
der the supervision of an experienced person. Completed, successful on-the-job training
must be confirmed in writing.
All control and safety devices may be activated strictly only by trained personnel.
1.8. Protective clothing
For any type of work on the machine, all users are obliged to wear at least the following
personal protective clothing:
• Safety footwear
• Closely fitting work clothing
