Other functions not described in this documentation might be
executable in the control. This does not, however, represent as
obligation to supply such functions with a new control or when
servicing.
Principle Your SIEMENS 840D/840Di/810D with ShopMill has been designed
and constructed according to state-of-the-art technology and
approved safety regulations and standards.
Additional equipment SIEMENS offers special add-on equipment, products and system
configurations for the focused expansion of SIEMENS controls in your
field of application.
Personnel Only suitably trained, authorized, reliable personnel should be
allowed to handle the equipment. Persons who are not qualified
should never be allowed to work on the control, even for a short
time.
The relevant responsibilities of personnel who set up, operate and
maintain the equipment must be clearly defined and adherence to
these responsibilities monitored.
Procedure Before the control is started up, it should be ensured that the
Operator's Guides have been read and understood by the people
responsible. The operator also has a permanent obligation to
continuously monitor the overall technical condition (externally
recognizable defects and damage and changes in the operating
behavior) of the control.
Servicing Repairs must be carried out by personnel who are specially trained
and qualified in the relevant technical subject according to the
information supplied in the service and maintenance guide. All
appropriate safety specifications must be observed.
The following is deemed to be improper usage and exempts the
manufacturer from any liability:
• Any application deviating from the above points or usage
extending beyond the given limits.
• Cases where the control is not maintained in perfect technical
condition, or is operated without due regard to safety or danger,
and cases where any or all of the instructions in the Operator's
Guide have not been observed.
• If faults that might affect the safety of the equipment are not
rectified before the control is started up.
