1.6. PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Before starting to work, carefully check that all machine components, particularly rub-
ber or plastic parts, are in place, in good condition and operate correctly. If damage or
excessive wear is found during the inspection phase, replace or repair the component
immediately regardless of the amount of damage or wear.
Walk around the machine to ensure that all components are in good condition and op-
erational, and that there are no foreign objects or debris (rags, tools, etc...) in or around
the machine which could affect its operation.
These checks must be carried out:
• Before starting the machine
• At regular time intervals
• After repairs
The machine may only be started after this pre-use check is successfully completed. Do
not use the machine if it is out of service for fine-tuning, maintenance, lubrication, etc.

1.7. DURING USE

If strange or unusual noises are heard, if a component or system is not operating correctly
or if you observe anything unusual, immediately stop using the machine.
• Identify the cause and take any necessary corrective action.
• Contact your supervisor if necessary.
Make sure that all other people are positioned at least 6 metres (20 feet) from the machine.
To stop the machine in an emergency:
• disconnect the power supply plug;
• interrupt the compressed air supply by disconnecting the supply pipe.
