1.3 Qualified technical personnel
Only qualified technical personnel may in-
stall, operate, maintain, and repair the prod-
ucts described here.
Such persons are familiar with the relevant
standards, rules, accident prevention regu-
lations, and assembly conditions as a result
of their training, experience, and instruction.
They are qualified to carry out the required
activities and in doing so recognize and
avoid any potential hazards. The definition
of qualified personnel and the prohibition
against employing non-qualified person-
nel are laid down in DIN VDE 0105 and IEC
364. Relevant country-specific definitions of
qualified technical personnel apply for coun-
tries outside the scope of DIN VDE 0105 or
IEC 364.
The core principles of these country-specific
qualification requirements for technical
personnel cannot be below those of the two
standards mentioned above.
The operator is responsible for assigning
tasks and the area of responsibility.
The personnel must be trained and in-
structed prior to beginning work if they do
not possess the requisite knowledge.
Product training can also be performed by
SKF in exchange for costs incurred.
o Any malfunctions that occur must be
resolved according to responsibility. The
supervisor must be notified immediate-
ly in case of malfunctions outside one's
individual scope of responsibility.
o Wear personal protective equipment.
o Observe the relevant safety data sheets
when handling lubricants/equipment.
