2.2 Organisational measures
e operating and installation instructions must always
be kept ready at thelocation where the machine isused.
In addition to the operating and installation instruc-
tions, observe and follow the generally valid legal reg-
ulations and any other binding regulations for accident
prevention and environmental protection.
Suchobligationsmay alsoincludehandlinghazard-
ous substances or making available/wearing personal
protective equipment and complying with road trac

isation, workows, personnel used, etc.
Any personnel instructed to perform work on the
machine must have read the operating instructions
before starting work, specically the section entitled
"Safety instructions". Reading the instructions aer
work has begun is too late. is applies in particular to
