4.4 Danger area
Danger when staying in the danger area!
Staying in the danger area is associated with risks that
cannot be assessed by unauthorised persons.
Therefore:
Always observe the danger area during operation and
ensure that no persons are present therein.
If an unauthorized person moves into the danger area,
warn the person and stop the operation immediately.
The area surrounding the machine plus a safety
distance of at least five metres is declared the danger
area. During the working process, the area must be free
of persons in order not to influence the working process
and to prevent dangerous situations.
Depending on their size, attachments and sweepings
that are flung away can increase the danger area of the
machine.

Safety and security
4.10 Observance of the operating instructions
The operating instructions are supplied by the manufacturer or
supplier of the product in order to impart essential knowledge to
the user for the proper and safe use, and to point out dangers in
handling the machine.
Before commissioning the machine, the operating instructions
must be read through; they must be strictly observed during commissioning. We
would like to point out that we accept no liability for damage or malfunctions
resulting from non-observance of the operating instructions.
We reserve the right to make technical changes, which are necessary for the
improvement of the machine, to the illustrations and information in these
operating instructions.
4.11 Residual dangers and safety measures
The knowledge and technical implementation of the safety notes within this
documentation is a prerequisite for a faultless product. However, this
documentation cannot cover every detail of every conceivable case of machine
application. Therefore, as in any other case, a residual risk in particular due to
human error remains. This documentation is intended to minimise this residual
risk.
4.12 Safety markings on the machine
Danger and warning points as well as important information
must be clearly marked on the machine and must be cleaned or
replaced if they become dirty or unrecognisable.
