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 respecti-
ve 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 mandatory
rules and regulations for accident prevention and environmen-
tal 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. Never-
theless, 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 disor-
ders, 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 confirmation 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 instruc-
tions 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 instruc-
tions 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 circum-
stances or by law.
