CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
1. GENERAL SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION!
Machine maintenance operations must only be
carried out by specialisedTechnicians provided
with suitable personal protection equipment (sa-
fety shoes, gloves, glasses, overalls, etc.), tools, utensils
and ancillary means.
ATTENTION!
Never operate the machine, removing, modi-
fying or tampering with the guards, protection
or safety devices.
ATTENTION!
Before carrying out any operation on the ma-
chine, always consult the manual, which gives
the correct procedures and contains important
information on safety.
1.1. INTRODUCTION
The machines are provided with electrical and/or mechanical
safety devices for protecting workers and the machine itself.
Therefore the user must not remove or tamper with such
devices.
The manufacturer declines any liability for damage due to
tampering or their non-use.
1.2. PROTECTION DEVICES INSTALLED ON THE
MACHINE
1.2.1. GUARDS
The guards on the machine are:
- fixed guards (e.g. casings, covers, side panels, etc.), fixed
to the machine and/or frame with screws or quick-release
connectors that can only be removed or opened with tools;
- machine electrical equipment access doors made from
hinged panels openable with tools, with the machine
disconnected from the power supply.
ATTENTION!
Several illustrations in the manual show the
machine, or parts of it, without guards or with
guards removed. This is purely for explanatory
purposes. Do not use the machine without the guards or
with the protection devices deactivated.
1.2.2.
SAFETY SIGNS TO BE PLACED ON THE MACHINE
OR NEAR ITS AREA
DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION
(placed on electrical parts
with indication of voltage).
DANGER MEANING
ATTENTION!
Do not remove,tamper with or make illegible the
safety, danger and instruction signs and labels
on the machine.
1.2.3. DECOMMISSIONING
When the appliance is no longer to be used, make it unusable
by removing the mains power supply wiring.
1.2.4. I NSTRUCTIONS REGARDING USE AND
MAINTENANCE
Risks mainly of a mechanical, thermal and electrical nature
are present in the machine.
Where possible the risks have been neutralised:
• directly, by means of adequate design solutions
• or indirectly by using guards, protection and safety devices.
During maintenance several risks remain, as these could not
be eliminated, and must be neutralised by adopting specific
measures and precautions.
Do not carry out any checking, cleaning, repair or maintenance
operations on moving parts.
Workers must be informed of the prohibition by means of
clearly visible signs. To guarantee machine efficiency and
correct operation, periodical maintenance must be carried out
according to the instructions given in this manual.In particular,
make sure to periodically check correct operation of all the
safety devices and the insulation of electrical cables, which
must be replaced if damaged.
1.2.5. REASONABLY FORESEEABLE IMPROPER USE
Improper use is any use different from that specified in this
manual. During machine operation, other types of work or
activities deemed improper and that in general can involve
risks for the safety of operators and damage to the equipment
are not allowed.
Reasonably foreseeable improper use includes:
• lack of machine maintenance, cleaning and periodical
checks;
• structural changes or modifications to the operating logic;
• tampering with the guards or safety devices;
• failure to use personal protection equipment by operators,
specialised technicians and personnel for normal use;
• failure to use suitable accessories (e.g. use of unsuitable
equipment or ladders);
• keeping combustible or flammable materials, or in any
case materials not compatible with or pertinent to the
work, near the machine;
• wrong machine installation;
• climbing on the machine;
• non-compliance with the requirements for correct machine
use;
• other actions that give rise to risks not eliminable by the
Manufacturer.
ATTENTION!
The previously described actions are prohibited!
