TABLE 3-TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
TERM DEFINITION
PROTECTION DEVICES
Safety measures involving the use of specific technical means called
protection devices (guards, safety devices) to protect persons from
dangers that cannot be reasonably eliminated or sufficiently reduced in
the design of the machine.
GUARD
A part of the machine specifically used to provide protection by the use
of a physical barrier. Depending on how it is made, a guard may be
called a cowling, cover, screen, door or fence etc. Note 1 - A guard may
act: - alone; in which case it is effective only when closed - associated
with a locking device with or without locking the guard; in this case
protection is assured whatever the position of the guard. Note 2 -
«Closed» means, in the case of a fixed guard, «kept in position».
FIXED GUARD
Guard kept in position (i.e. closed), by means of a fastening (screws,
bolts etc.) that make its removal/opening impossible without the use of
tools.
MOBILE GUARD
Guard that is generally mechanically connected to the frame of the
machine or to nearby fixed element (by means for example of hinges or
guides), and that can be opened without the use of tools.
INTERLOCKED MOBILE
GUARD
Guard associated with an interlock device so that : The machine's
dangerous functions «protected» by the guard cannot be carried out
unless the guard has been closed − If the guard is opened during the
unfolding of the machine's dangerous functions, a stop command is
given − The closure of the guard permits execution of the machine's
dangerous functions «protected» by the guard but it does not control the
start up.

An mechanical or electrical or other kind of device whose aim is to
prevent elements of the machine from functioning under specified
conditions (generally until the guard is closed).
PROTECTION
STRUCTURE
A physical obstacle such as a guard or part of the machine, that limits
the movement of the body and/or one of its parts. The safety distances
have been determined on the basis of the requisites at point 4.1.1 of the
standard UNI EN294.
SAFETY DISTANCE
The minimum distance a protective structure must be positioned with
respect to a dangerous area. The safety distances have been
determined on the basis of the requisites at point 4.1.1 of the standard
UNI EN294.
INDIVIDUAL
PROTECTION DEVICE
Safety devices such as gloves, shoes, helmet, visor, earplugs etc. aimed
at protecting parts of the body.
CONTROL CIRCUIT A circuit used to control the working of the machine and protect the power circuits.
CONTROL DEVICE
A device inserted into a control circuit and used to control the working of
the machine (e.g. position sensors, manual control switches, relays and
electromagnetic valves).

A.6 Safety warnings
When using industrial machines and systems, one should be aware that moving mechanical parts (linear
or rotary movement), high voltage electrical parts, and any parts at high temperature, etc, can cause
serious damage to persons and materials.
In designing and building the machine, the Manufacturer focused special attention on safety in order to
supply a SAFE machine and, therefore, the Manufacturer has provided protective and safety devices
considered necessary according to the Risk Analysis carried out by expert personnel. People in charge of
system safety must make sure that the following essential safety regulations are observed:
Do not run the machine with the fixed and mobile protective devices dismantled or
disabled.
Do not run the machine with the fixed and mobile protective devices dismantled or
disabled.
It is forbidden to switch off safety devices installed on the machine or create by-
pass systems to limit switches or micro-switches.
Operations with reduced safety devices must be carried out strictly observing the
instructions in the relevant descriptions, and must be performed by specialized
technicians aware of the risk, under the direct supervision of the company person
responsible for safety. Active protective devices must be restored as soon as
possible, limiting this high risk status to the minimum.
Cleaning and maintenance operations must be performed with the electrical and
pneumatic cut-out devices switched OFF. To this end, the machine is provided
with emergency push-buttons which shut down the system. It is good practice to
use them as safety lock-outs to avoid accidental starting during inspections or
mechanical jobs.
Clean covers and control panel with soft, dry cloths lightly dampened in detergent;
do not use solvents as they could damage the surfaces.
Do not modify the machine or its parts. Otherwise, the Manufacturer shall not hold
itself responsible for damage to persons and materials. Request any
modifications/customizing directly from the Manufacturer.

A.7 Remaining risks
The use of the machine during its operation may give risk to additional risks such as the following:
The possibility of crushing occurring during press closing.
The possibility of burns occurring in the pressing area if the temperature is not first checked or if suitably
protective gloves are not worn.
The possibility of scalding or burning occurring by hot liquid or steam in the cooling circuit if the cooling
cycle is incorrectly stopped without paying attention to the warnings given in this manual.
The possibility of contact between water and live equipment.
The user is responsible for taking care during transportation and movement of the equipment where the
use of extraneous equipment (such as forklift trucks etc.) present dangers from bumping into and
crushing persons in the area of these operations.
Ensure during equipping and maintenance operations that the stages in the chapters of the manual are
scrupulously adhered to and have these operations carried out only by suitably prepared and qualified
persons.
