Glossary of the terms
The glossary includes some terms used when processing information, with their
denition, in order to facilitate understanding.
– Training: A process aiming at transferring the knowledge, skills and behaviours re-
quired to work in an autonomous, correct and hazard-free manner.
– Assistant: person chosen, trained and coordinated in an appropriate manner to mini-
mize the risks in carrying out their tasks.
– Emergency stop: voluntary activation of the special control that stops the dangerous
elements of the work unit in the case of imminent risk.
– Stop in alarm conditions: this state causes the components to stop and is activated
when the control system detects a problem in the machine operation.
– General shut down: In addition to the normal stop this state also causes the interrup-
tion of all the power sources (electrical, pneumatic, etc.).
– Operating Stop: state that does not cut off power supply to the actuators, but ensures
control system monitoring in safe conditions.
– Size change: a set of interventions to be carried out before beginning to work with
specications different with respect to the ones previously in use.
– Test-run: a series of operations required to ensure compliance to the design speci-
cations, and to commission the machine under safety conditions.
– Installer: a technician chosen and authorized by the manufacturer or his authorized

anchoring it to specic points indicated on the packages.
– DO NOT attempt to by-pass the instructions concerning the lifting requirements and
special points provided for lifting and handling each item and/or disassembled part.
– Slowly lift the pack to the minimum necessary height and move it very carefully in order
to avoid dangerous vibrations.
– The packs being shipped must be properly fastened to the means of transport in order
to ensure safe conditions during transfer and the integrity of their contents.
– Certain steps might request one or more operators, who must be previously trained
and informed on the tasks they will have to perform.
– Download packages in the immediate vicinity of the machine setting, which must be
sheltered from bad weather.
– Do not stack the packs onto each other in order to avoid any damage and to avoid the
