Important Safety Instruction
This part of the Instruction Material is provided for the safe use of your equipment.
It contains important information to help work safely with the unit and describes the
dangers inherent in machinery. Some of these dangers are obvious, while others are
less evident.
Mandatory Information
All persons operating and/or working on the 1959 Automatic Handle Workstation should read and
understand all parts of the Safety Instructions. This applies, in particular, for persons who only operate
and/or work on the unit occasionally (e.g. for maintenance and repair). Persons who have difficulty
reading must receive particularly thorough instruction.
Scope of the Instruction Material
The Instruction Material comprises:
Safety information
Operator Instructions
Electrical and Pneumatic diagrams
And may also include;
A list of recommended spare parts
Instruction Manual(s) for components made by other manufacturers
The layout and installation diagram containing information for installation
Intended Use
Our machines are designed and built in line with the state of the art and the accepted safety rules.
However, all machines may endanger the life and limb of their users and/or third parties and be damaged
or cause damage to other property, particularly if they are operated incorrectly or used for purposes
other than those specified in the Instruction Manual.
Exclusion of Misuse
Non-conforming uses include, for example, using the equipment for something
other than it was designed for, as well as operation without duly installed safety
equipment. The risk rests exclusively with the end user.
Conforming use of the machine includes compliance with the technical data,
information and regulations in all parts of the complete Instruction Material, as
well as compliance with the maintenance regulations. All local safety and
accident prevention regulations must also be observed.

Liability
The machine should only be operated when in perfect working order, with due regard for safety and the
potential dangers, as well as in accordance with the Instruction Material. Faults and malfunctions
capable of impairing safety should be remedied immediately. We cannot accept any liability for personal
injury or property damage due to operator errors or non-compliance with the safety instructions
contained in this booklet. The risk rests exclusively with the end user.
The Instruction Material should always be kept near the machine so that it is accessible to all concerned.
The local, general, statutory and other binding regulations on accident prevention and environmental
protection must also be observed in addition to the Instruction Material. The operating staff must be
instructed accordingly. This obligation also includes the handling of dangerous substances and
provision/use of personal protective equipment.
The Instruction Material should be supplemented by instructions, including supervisory and notification
duties with due regard for special operational features, such as the organization of work, work
sequences, the personnel deployed, etc.
The personnel's awareness of the dangers and compliance with the safety regulations should be checked
at irregular intervals.
Choice and Qualification of Personnel
Ensure that work on the machine is only carried out by reliable persons who have been appropriately
trained for such work - either within the company, by our field staff or at our office - and who have not
only been duly appointed and authorized, but are also fully familiar with the local regulations. Work on
the machine should only be carried out by skilled personnel, under the management and supervision of a
duly qualified engineer.
This not only applies when the machine is used for production, but also for special work associated with
its operation (start-up and maintenance), especially when it concerns work on the hydraulic or electrical
systems, as well as on the software/serial bus system.
Training
Everyone working on or with the machine should be duly trained and informed with regard to correct
use of the safety equipment, the foreseeable dangers which may arise during operation of the machine
and the safety precautions to be taken. In addition, the personnel should be instructed to check all safety
mechanisms at regular intervals.
Responsibilities
Clearly define exactly who is responsible for operating, setting-up, servicing and repairing the machine.
Define the responsibilities of the machine operator and authorize him to refuse any instructions by third
parties if they run contrary to the machine's safety. This applies in particular for the operators of
machines linked to other equipment. Persons receiving training of any kind may only work on or with
the machine under the constant supervision of an experienced operator. Note the minimum age limits
permitted by law.

A Word to the Operator
The greatest danger inherent in our machines:
is that of fingers, hands or loose clothing being drawn into a machine by live, coasting or rotating tools
or assemblies or of being cut by sharp tools or burned by hot elements.
ALWAYS BE CONSCIOUS OF THESE DANGERS!
Safety Equipment on the Machines
All machines are delivered with safety equipment, which shall not be removed or
bypassed during operation.
The correct functioning of safety equipment on machines and systems should be
checked every day and before every new shift starts, after maintenance and repair
work, when starting up for the first time and when restarting (e.g. after prolonged
shutdowns).
If safety equipment has to be dismantled for setting-up, maintenance or repair work, such safety
equipment shall be replaced and checked immediately upon completing the maintenance or repair work.
All protective mechanisms shall be fitted and fully operational whenever the machine is at a standstill or
if it has been shut down for a longer period of time.
Damage
If any changes capable of impairing safety are observed in the machine or its mode of operation, such as
malfunctions, faults or changes in the machine or tools, appropriate steps must be taken immediately, the
machine switched off and a proper lockout tagout procedure followed. The machine should be examined
for obvious damage and defects at least once per shift. Damage found shall be immediately remedied by
a duly authorized person before resuming operation of machine.
The machine should only be operated when in perfect working order and when all protective
mechanisms and safety equipment, such as detachable protective mechanisms, emergency STOP
systems, etc. are in place and operational.
Faults or Errors
The machine must be switched off and all moving or rotating parts allowed to come to a standstill and
secured against accidental restart before starting to remedy any faults or errors.
Signs on the Machine
Safety and danger signs on the machine should be observed and checked at regular intervals to ensure
that they are complete and undamaged. They should be clearly visible and legible at all times.
Clothing, Jewelry, Protective Equipment
Long loose hair, loose-fitting clothes, gloves and jewelry, including rings, should be avoided in order to
avoid injuries due to being caught, drawn in and wound up inside the machine.

Protective Eyewear
Protective eyewear that has been tested by the local authorities should be worn
whenever there is a possibility of loose or flying objects or particles such as when
cleaning the machine with compressed air.
Tools
Always count the number of tools in your possession before starting work on the machine. This will
allow you to check that no tools have been left behind inside the machine. Never leave a tool in the
machine while working.
Oils, Lubricants, Chemicals
Note the applicable safety regulations for the product used.
No Smoking, Fire, Explosion Hazard
Smoking and open flame (e.g. welding work) should be prohibited in the production area due to the risk
of fire and explosions.
Workplace
A clear working area without any obstructions whatsoever is essential for safe operation of the machine.
The floor should be level and clean, without any waste.
The workplace should be well lit, either by the general lighting or by local lights.
Emergency STOP
The emergency STOP buttons bring all machine movements to a standstill. Make sure you know exactly
where they are located and how they work. Try them out. Always ensure easy access to the nearest
emergency STOP button while working on the machine.
First Aid
1. Keep calm even when injured.
2. Clear the operator from the danger zone. The decision of what to do and whether to seek
additional assistance rests entirely with you, particularly if someone has been trapped.
3. Give First Aid. Special courses are offered by such organizations as the employers' liability
insurance association. Your colleagues should be able to rely on you and vice versa.
4. Call an ambulance. Do you know the telephone numbers for the ambulance service, police and
fire service?
