housed within the covers are to be serviced
by authorized CHATILLON representatives
only.
The final and full compliance with the
requirements of the MSD 2006-42-EC will
be dependent on the industry, application,
material (to be tested), location (of the
use), etc. the final user must take the
necessary steps to ensure the safety of the
operator, other people, machine and
properties by providing guards, shields,
screen, adequate lighting, adequate
ventilation, etc.
Furthermore, when the machine is installed,
wired and ready for its intended use the
final user must conduct the final Risk
Assessment on the machine, including all
such safety measures (shield, guard, etc.),
to satisfy the requirements of Machinery
Directive and EHSR (Essential Health and
Safety Requirements).
The mechanical Frame has apotential to crush objects!
