3 Seconds before the end of the pressing process an acoustic signal will sound.
1.5 Safety arrangements at t e workspace
Testing t e eat press
After a correct installation of the press it is i portant to ensure that the press works properly, isn't da aged and has no safety defects. The
testing can only be done by the e ployer or other authorized persons and is andatory to guarantee correct installation and safe usage of
the press.
If any irregularities regarding functionality or safety are found during the testing, these have to been noted and reported to Walter Schulze
G bH in written for within 7 days. Until clarification the press can not be used.
Information and Education
According to § 81 industrial relations law and § 14 e ploy ent protection law the e ployer has to ake arrange ents to give all
infor ation about the function and the range of application to the user.
In particular the user needs to be acquainted with the co plete anual and be explicitly infor ed of the dangers of working with the press.
The details have to be explained in a coherent for and language.
Safety distance and ventilation
The press has to be installed at a place which gives enough space on both sides to put the aterial on.
The space in front of the press has to be wide enough to let nothing disturb the user at work.
Using the press with certain aterials ay create a strong s ell. That’s why the user should evaluate the need for a ventilation syste at
the workplace.
Safety instruction:
•The press should only be used by trained personal after notice of this anual
•Only one person is allowed to work on the press at a ti e.
•Beware of heating plate – risk of burns.
•The plug has to be pulled out of the power outlet while aintenance.
•Caution: please do not connect this press to any other outlet (socket) than those equipped with ground-fault protection ELCB
(earth leakage circuit breaker).
