2.1. SAFETY
These INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE & MAINTENANCE are part of the machine
and should accompany it throughout its service life until disposed of.
Before starting ANY operation, consult the relevant Section of these
INSTRUCTIONS.
Make sure that nobody has access to the machine before getting thoroughly
acquainted with these Instructions.
The only operations allowed are those described in these INSTRUCTIONS;
for any operation other than these, contact NIRO SOAVI Customer
Service.
CAUTION: Do not attempt tampering the calibration of any component or
part of the machine or to modify any parameter of programmable devices
unless expressly authorized in writing by NIRO-SOAVI.
Any calibration carried out by NIRO-SOAVI at the time of testing has the
purpose of ensuring the machine’s safety and troublefree operation: any
unauthorized modification will void the machine’s guarantee immediately.
Because the tampering of any safety device may undermine the safety of
the equipment, NIRO-SOAVI shall not be held liable for damages in case
of accidents resulting from such unauthorized modification.
Keep these INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE within the
operator's reach and make sure that their place of storage is suitable to
protect them from accidental damage.All operators must be thoroughly
familiar with the instructions given in this manual, comply with safety
regulations, use personal protection devices and avoid wearing clothes or
accessories which could get drawn into moving machine parts.
Operators must be familiar with the instructions given in this manual
before they can do any work on and with the machine.
WARNING: For safety during transport, the machine is supplied WITHOUT
LUBRICATION OIL. Before starting the machine fill with oil as described in
Section 4 -MAINTENANCE.

Niro Soavi S.p.A
2.1.1 SAFETY INFORMATION
Although this machine has been designed to prevent all risks for operators the
possibility of risk for both personnel and materials or equipment is not excluded;
the general safety instructions and norms for operators and objects must be
observed scrupulously, taking every precaution to prevent accidents.
The machine must be used only if its state of preservation, operation and repair
is perfect and in compliance with what is required and specified in this manual.
Use of this machine is permitted only for the purposes for which it was
constructed and tested; use of the machine for purposes other that the ones
mentioned or beyond specified use limits shall relieve the manufacturer of all
responsibility in case of damage to persons or things and invalidate the
warranty.
Failure to service the machine according to the instructions provided in this
manual, or use of non-original spare parts, may lead to risks for the personnel
operating the machine.
2.1.2 PERSONNEL SAFETY
The machine must be used only by personnel members who are familiar with
the INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE and with the specific
technical information required to carry out their tasks, using suitable tools and
equipment; only authorized personnel are allowed to access, operate or service
the machine.
All members of personnel must wear clothes that are suitable to prevent
accidents due to clothing getting caught in moving machine parts or to contact
with sharp or pointed parts or with high temperatures.
Protection clothes, safety goggles and safety boots must be worn at all times.
We also recommend the use of personal protection devices to protect operators
from the noise that may be produced by the machine.
Operators must be familiar with the use of the equipment required to carry out
routine and extraordinary maintenance work.
In particular, these instructions must be read by all members of personnel who
may be operating or interacting with the machine, such as:
- Personnel in charge of transportation and handling the machine
- Personnel in charge of connecting the machine to supply mains
- The operator who is to use the machine
- Personnel in charge of servicing the machine
- Personnel who are to carry out machine tests and to check the
characteristics of the product treated.

Niro Soavi S.p.A
2.1.3 USE OF THE MACHINE IN DANGEROUS ZONES
Use of the machine in dangerous zones is allowed only if the machine has been
designed specifically for use in such conditions using suitably certified
components.
Identification and classification of danger zones is the responsibility of the
customer who is required to specify them.
The factory electric system as well as ground and unipotential connections
must be designed so as to prevent any danger of explosion.
Where equipment for the detection of dangerous gas, liquids or vapors is used it
must installed by the user; the same applies to systems for ventilation and
exhaust of smoke and vapor from the danger zone.
All personnel must be aware of the potential hazards present in the danger
zone and connected with the use of dangerous products for the safety of
persons and of the environment.
Any tools and equipment used inside danger zones must be suitable for use in
these conditions; the user of the machine is responsible for selecting them and
making them available as well as for the way they are used.
It is extremely important to regularly check belt tension in order to prevent
dangerous overload or overheating as this could create a risk of fire or
explosion.
