SAFETY
SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE
Most of the accidents which take place while the operator is using the machine or the equipment or
during their maintenance or repair are caused by a lack of compliance with the basic safety
precautions.
It is necessary, therefore, to become more and more conscious of the potential risks of one’s action
by constantly paying attention to its effects.
If potentially dangerous situations are known, accidents can be prevented!
OPERATOR’S REQUIREMENTS
All operators using the equipment must be competent and meet necessarily the following features:
Physical: good eyesight, coordination and capability of carrying out all functions required for the
machine’s use.
Mental: capability of understanding and applying the established rules and safety precautions.
Users must pay attention and be sensible for their own and other people’s safety
Training: users must have read and studied this manual, its eventual enclosed graphs and schemes
and its identification and danger plates. They must be skilled and trained on any use or maintenance
activities.
WORK CLOTHING
When working and especially when executing repair or maintenance activities, it is necessary to
wear the following clothing and safety accessories:
-Overalls or other comfortable clothing, not too loose to prevent the possibility that parts of
them might be caught in the moving parts.
-Protective gloves for hands.
-Protective glasses or faceplate to protect eyes and face.
-Protective helmet for the head.
