1.5 Reference directives
The machine supplied by ARS S.r.l. does not fall under one of the machine categories listed in Annex IV of the Directive; therefore,
for the purpose of certifying compliance of the machine with the provisions of this Directive, ARS S.r.l. applies the conformity
assessment procedure with internal control on the manufacture of machinery, as set forth in Annex VIII.
To certify compliance of the machine with the provisions of the Directive, before placing it on the market ARS S.r.l. carried out the
risk assessment in order to ascertain compliance with the essential health and safety requirements of the Directive as well as the
tests and inspections required by the applicable reference standards.
The technical construction file was prepared in compliance with the provisions of Annex VII of Directive 2006/42/EC and is available
for inspection by the supervisory bodies upon a reasoned request, as required by the legal provisions in force.
ARS S.r.l. therefore places the machine on the market together with:
CE Marking
CE Declaration of Conformity
Instruction manual and safety warnings
(Documentation prepared according to section 1.7.4 of Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC)
it should also be noted that the machine has been designed in compliance with the following Directives:
2006/42/EC
Machinery Directive
2014/30/EU
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive

2.2 Supply and storage
The manual is supplied in electronic format.
All of the additional documentation (wiring and pneumatic diagrams, sub-supplier manuals) can be provided at the customer’s
request.
Store this manual with the machine so that it can be easily referenced by the operator.
The manual is intented to guarantee safety , therefore:
•it must be stored intact (in its entirety). If it is lost or damaged, immediately ask for another copy.
•it must be kept with the machine until it is scrapped (even if it is relocated, sold, hired, etc.);
•the attached manuals are an inherent part of this documentation, therefore the same recommendations/requirements
contained in this manual apply to them.
The Manufacturer disclaims any liability for machine misuse and/or for damage caused following operations not specified in the
technical documentation.
2.3 Updates
If the machine requires modifications or functional replacements, the Manufacturer is responsible for reviewing or updating the
manual. The Manufacturer is in charge of delivering the updated manual.
Moreover, if this document is altered in any way by the Manufacturer, the user is responsible for ensuring that only the updated
version of the manual is actually made available in the places of use.
2.4 Language
The original manual is written in Italian.
Any translations into additional languages must be done from the original instructions.
The Manufacturer is responsible for the information in the original instructions; translations into different languages cannot be

2.9 User’s safe area
The areas around the machine are divided as follows:
Term
Description
Control zones
These are the areas where the user and the other operators can control the machine’s cyclic
functions (“operator station”), in either automatic mode or semi-automatic mode, with the control
panels or to perform manual operations.
Maintenance /
adjustment zones
These are the areas where the mechanical maintenance technicians can carry out maintenance work
or adjustments. These areas are considered hazardous and not accessible during normal machine
operation. Operators must be fully aware of the safety warnings and personal protective equipment
to be worn.
Danger zones
These are any zones within (or around) the machine where there are residual risks that can cause
harm to people. In these zones, access is forbidden to everyone during machine operation.
The hazards and risks in these areas are protected, as much as possible, with guards (casings, doors) and with safety devices
(sensors, micro switches, light curtains) which, if activated, completely shut down the machine.
However, when the machine is running, it is strictly forbidden to work in the danger zones as some of the risks might not have
been completely eliminated.

CHAPTER 3 - Safety measures 19
Instructions for use and warnings
3Safety measures
3.1 Safety devices
To fully safeguard the operator and prevent access inside the machine while it is moving, the machine has been fitted with a
number of safety devices which, if they are activated, completely shut down the machine. The machine is designed and fitted with
safety systems to minimise risks for the operator.
The machine features the safety devices described in the table below. For the position of these devices, see the drawing on the
next pages.
CAUTION!
Due to the presence of spikes on the Rotary Discs, the operator could be exposed to the bruising and/or cutting
hazard in case of contact with them. Wear the appropriate P.P.E. when working near these Rotary Discs.
CAUTION!
In case of emergency, disconnect the power supply connected to the control panel to safely disable the Flexibowl®
controls.
Pos.
Item
Description
1
COVERS
These consist of fixed perimeter protections (casings), which have the function of
preventing access to the movements of the various machine parts during the operating
cycle and which can only be removed with specific tools.
2
ELECTRICAL SWITCH
It is located on the control panel and is used to cut off the power supply in the event of:
•danger to the operator’s safety;
•electrical hazard on the machine;
•mechanical or electrical operations on the machine.

20 CHAPTER 3 - Safety measures
FlexiBowl® - Models 200 - 350 - 500 - 650 - 800
3.2 Noise
The noise was measured in compliance with the provisions of UNI EN 11200 and UNI EN ISO 3746. During the operating cycles,
staff are exposed to a noise level of 90 dB.
The actual noise level during operation of the machine installed on site in a production process is different from the one measured
because the noise is affected by a number of factors, such as:
•type and characteristics of the site;
•type of machine that Flexibowl® is installed on;
•other adjacent machines in operation.
OBLIGATION!
It is mandatory to use the appropriate personal protective equipment.
3.3 Vibrations
The vibrations produced by the machine, based on its operating mode, are not dangerous to the health of the operators.
CAUTION!
Excessive vibrations can only be caused by a mechanical breakdown that must immediately be reported and fixed,
so as not to undermine the safety of the line or of the operators.
3.4 Electromagnetic compatibility
The supplied machine contains electronic components subject to the regulations on Electromagnetic Compatibility, affected by
conducted and radiated emissions.
The emission values are within the regulatory requirements thanks to the use of components that comply with the Electromagnetic
Compatibility directive, suitable connections and installation of filters where necessary.
Thus the machine complies with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) directive.
CAUTION!
Any non-compliant maintenance work carried out on the electrical equipment or incorrect replacement of
components may undermine the efficiency of the implemented solutions.
