GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
Before starting up the machine, or carrying out any maintenance operations, it is essential that the
chapters relative to each operation be read carefully; in particular, please read transport and
handling instructions, connection to main electrical supply, and use and maintenance instructions
with care.
In order to safeguard the operators working on the machine from any injury, please ensure that personnel
obey all the safety instructions provided below with the utmost care:
No other personnel must approach or remain near the press while it is running.
When the press is running, never place the hands between the cutting plate and the mobile arm (for
example: in order to change die position). This must also be observed while the machine is being
switched off, since the oil pressure which supports the mobile arm will be released and the press head
will descend.
Never wear clothing or jewellery which can provoke a risk of injury when working on the machine
( e.g.: wide or flapping clothing, scarves, ties, or wide cuffed sleeves).
Never place any tools or other objects not directly used for the work in hand on the cutting plate or
the mobile arm. Vessels containing liquid or beverages can spill into the electrical box causing severe
electrical shock.
All interventions for adjustment settings and maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel
and only after the machine has been disconnected from the main line current.
Never remove the labels attached to the machine and always respect the warnings printed on these
labels. If they are damaged in any way, the labels must be replaced for safety reasons.
Never change or modify any of the protective covers or shields on the machine (protective panels, end
-of-stroke blocks, pressure switches, etc.) nor any of the safety devices provided to protect the
operator from injury. It is severely forbidden to tamper with the electrical installation or modify it in
any way without the permission of the manufacturer. If these instructions are not followed as
described, the machine is no longer covered by the guarantee. All results from lack of respect of these
regulations and standards (machine damage, injury to personnel, etc.) will be the total responsibility
of the customer.
To clean the machine, never use strong water jets, solvents, gasoline, or any type of corrosive
substance. Use only soft cloths soaked in detergent liquid, and when cleaning the electrical command
panel, use a brush to remove the dust from the less accessible areas.
When carrying out machine maintenance, warn all personnel not to use the machine. While
maintenance operations are underway, and whenever the press is being used, the operator must
always remain near the machine.
When any machine components need replacing, request original spare parts from the manufacturer or
from the authorised sales agent.
This press has been designed and built for die cutting flexible and semi-rigid materials. Never attempt to
cut other types of material on this machine such as:metal, wood, hard plastics, bakelite, or any materials
containing toxic waste or dust such as asbestos. Take care to check that the interior of the material to be
cut does not contain metal meshing or similar, which will not only damage the dies, but also cause
violent splinter flying.
When you turn off the machine, the motor takes about 1 minute to stop completely. After this time, the
arm will start to descend slowly. During the descent of the mobile arm, keep hands well clear of the
machine to avoid crushing between the arm and the cutting plate.
