3.2 Safety Regulations and Operating Precautions
•The machine should be used in a closed room protected from dust and excessive
humidity. The machine should be positioned in such a way that its distance from the walls,
doors, windows, other machines or working positions guarantees immediate access in
case of emergency, maintenance or repairs.
•La machine doit être installée dans un local fermé, à l’abri de la poussière et de l’humidité
excessive. Elle doit être suffisamment éloignée des murs, des portes, des fenêtres, des
autres machines et des postes de travail pour assurer un accès immédiat en cas
d’urgence, d’entretien ou de réparation.
•
Do not install this machine in the
neighborhood of other operating machines which
produce dust since dust can deposit itself inside the machine and cause damage to the
internal electrical parts
•Ne pas installer cette machine à proximité d’autres machines en fonction qui produisent
de la poussière : celle-ci peut se déposer à l’intérieur de la machine et endommager les
pièces électriques internes.
•The machine is furnished with special safety guards which protect the operator from
coming into contact with the mechanical and electrical parts inside the machine. Only
those persons who are specialized in repairs and maintenance and who have been
authorized should have access to the above mentioned parts. Simple general
maintenance can be safely performed by the operator so long as the machine has been
stopped and the electrical power supply has been disconnected.
•La machine est équipée de dispositifs de sécurité spéciaux qui empêchent l’opérateur
d’entrer en contact avec les pièces mécaniques et électriques à l’intérieur de la machine.
Ces pièces ne doivent être accessibles qu’aux personnes autorisées et spécialisées en
réparation et en entretien. L’opérateur peut effectuer l’entretien général en toute sécurité
si la machine est éteinte et que l’alimentation électrique est coupée.
•
The machine has been made with fire resistant materials thus diminishing the risk of fire.
Short circuit protection has been implemented so that the power supply is immediately
isolated thus avoiding unwanted current absorption from the external power line.
•La machi
ne est fabriquée en matériaux résistants au feu afin de réduire les risques
d’incendie. Elle est dotée d’une protection coupant immédiatement l’alimentation
électrique en cas de courts-
circuits afin d’éviter l’absorption indésirable de courant
provenant de la ligne électrique extérieure.
•
Do Not place liquids on the machine cover since it is not waterproof. It is particularly
important to avoid high humidity conditions which would add to the wear and corrosion of
the mechanical parts.
•Ne pas placer de liquides sur le couvercle de la machine, car il n’est pas étanche. Il est
essentiel d’éviter les conditions d’humidité élevée qui pourraient contribuer à l’usure et à
la corrosion des pièces mécaniques.
The machine has labels that indicate any danger areas.
The meanings of these labels are explained below.
La machine est munie d’étiquettes identifiant toutes les zones de risque.
L’explication de ces étiquettes se trouve ci-dessous.
Panduit cannot be held responsible for the consequences of not abiding
by these safety rules when using the machine.
Therefore, in the case of breakdown, please call for Technical Assistance.
Panduit ne saurait être tenu responsable des conséquences du non-respect
de ces règles de sécurité lors de l’utilisation de la machine.
Il est préférable, en cas de panne, de communiquer avec l’assistance technique.

PES400: PA28981A01_01 Page: 15 of 46 4-2018
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE OR MODIFY THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
NE RETIRER NI MODIFIER EN AUCUN CAS LES COMPOSANTS INTERNES.
DO NOT REMOVE SAFETY GUARD
These safety guards
should be removed only by specialized and authorized technical
persons who take care to adopt all security measures to avoid any risk of danger and injury.
NE PAS ENLEVER LES DISPOSITIFS DE SÉCURITÉ
Les dispositifs de sécurité ne doivent être retirés que
par des techniciens autorisés et
spécialisés qui s’appliquent à adopter toutes les mesures de sécurité afin d’éviter tout risque
et toute blessure.
CAUTION: BE CAREFUL OF YOUR HANDS!
RISK OF BEING CRUSHED OR STRUCK
The machine, plus the wooden crate weighs 210 lbs. (95 Kg)
and the net weight is 155 lbs. (70 Kg); therefore, all lifting should
be done with four persons present.
MISE EN GARDE : PRENDRE GARDE À SES MAINS!
RISQUE DE S’ÉCRASER OU SE COINCER LES DOIGTS
La machine et sa caisse en bois ont un poids total de 95 kg
(210 lb) et la machine elle-même pèse 70 kg (155 lb); elle doit
donc être déplacée par quatre personnes.
DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE
Do not perform any maintenance work while the machine is connected to the power supply.
To replace a fuse or do internal maintenance, disconnect the power supply.
DANGER! HAUTE TENSION
Ne pas effectuer de travaux d’entretien lorsque la machine est connectée à l’alimentation
électrique. Pour remplacer un fusible ou effectuer un entretien à l’intérieur, couper
l’alimentation.
ATTENTION! MOVING MACHINE COMPONENTS
If any maintenance work has to be done the technician must disconnect the power supply
and work on the machine only when it has been stopped.
ATTENTION! COMPOSANTS DE MACHINE EN MOUVEMENT
Le technicien doit éteindre la machine et couper l’alimentation électrique avant d’effectuer
des travaux d’entretien.
ATTENTION! DANGER
The machine when at work has several moving units.
Do not work on the inside of the machine.
Do not remove the cover or guards except for the front cover which is used to load the plates.
ATTENTION! DANGER
Lorsqu’elle est en fonction, la machine comprend plusieurs unités en mouvement.
Ne pas travailler à l’intérieur de la machine.
Ne pas retirer le couvercle ou les dispositifs de sécurité, excepté le couvercle frontal pour
charger les plaques.
GROUNDED (EARTHED) CABLES
This symbol indicates that all the connected cables have been grounded (earthed).
