2.3. Safe machine use and maintenance
2.3.1. Safe use
-
Before operating the machine, ensure all the safety devices are perfectly intact.
-
The zone in which the machine is used should be considered a "danger zone", i.e.
the zone close to which the presence of an exposed person poses a risk for that
person's health and safety. This applies in particular to any people present who are
untrained in use of the machine.
-
The area surrounding the operating zone of the machine must always be clean and
kept free of any obstacles. Ensure there are no people or animals present in the area
of machine use.
-
When a person is "exposed", that is, in a "danger zone", the operator must
immediately stop the machine and ensure that person leaves the danger zone.
-
When the machine is running, the operator must maintain a position that will allow
complete control of the machine so that appropriate action can be taken at any time
and in any circumstance.
-
Before leaving the machine unattended make sure the power supply is disconnected.
-
Periodically check the machine is in good working order, safety devices included.
2.3.2. Safe maintenance
-
Before carrying out any work on the machine, make sure the power supply is
disconnected.
-
Maintenance tasks must always be carried out by staff qualified for such tasks.
-
At the end of maintenance/repair work the technician must make sure that the work
has been completed, the safety devices re-enabled and the guards refitted before
restarting the machine.
Use of appropriate personal protective equipment during maintenance/repair work is
compulsory. Such equipment includes:
Gloves
Adjustment work done with safety devices disabled or casings removed must be carried
out by one worker only; when such work is being carried out access to the machine by
unauthorised staff is prohibited. Prevent dust deposits on the machine, especially on the
electric motor and intake filters.
NB: Do not direct water jets against the machine (e.g. to clean it); this could cause
short-circuiting!
