subject.
1.2 TRANSPORT AND PACKAGING
The machine comes protected with packaging foam inside a sturdy cardboard box of the following
size:
Width = 440 mm; Height = 350 mm; Depth = 540 mm Weight (machine + packaging) = 18.5 kg.
When unpacking the machine, check carefully for any damage during transport.
If you find something out of the ordinary, immediately notify the carrier and do nothing with the
machine until the carrier's agent has performed the corresponding inspection.
To move the machine from one place to another, only lift the machine by the handles on its
base and not by any other parts.

2. SAFETY MEASURES
2.1 REGULATIONS
The Berna simply duplicator machine and its safety devices are compliant with Directive 2006/42
EC on Machinery.
This manual cites all the safety regulations that the user must respect when installing and ope-
rating the machine. Failure to follow these instructions may compromise the safety conditions
10
provided for during design and testing.
When used for the purpose for which they have been designed, all machines bearing the CE mark
are compliant with EU Directive 2006/42 EC on Machinery.
The machine operator must know and follow the instructions provided in this manual.
2.2 SAFETY DEVICES
The Berna simply duplicator machine is fitted with safety and other protective devices that define
the user operation area in order to guarantee their safety.
2.2.1 USER PROTECTION
• Earthing connection.
• CIRCUIT BREAKER. This device stops the flow of electricity in the event of the following: If the
electricity supply suddenly fails and prevents the cutter from rotating, the circuit breaker prevents
the cutter from suddenly moving again if electrical power unexpectedly returns and thereby pre-
vents any risk this may pose to user integrity. If this happens, the machine must be manually
switched off and on again by using the power switch.
• Anti-swarf screen. The operator must still wear safety goggles even though this device is pre-
sent.
• Protective tube over the main axis rack for the carriage assembly.
2.2.2 PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
When operating or maintaining the Berna simply machine, users must wear the following perso-
nal protection equipment:
• CLOTHING: Those responsible for maintaining and operating key duplicator machines should
wear protective clothing that meets all the basic safety requirements currently in effect. On wet
floors, users should wear safety shoes with a non-slip sole.
• SAFETY GOGGLES: The operator should wear safety goggles over the eyes during the duplica-
tion stages of operation.
2.2.3 SAFETY SIGNS AND SYMBOLS
The Berna simply duplicator machine uses the following safety signs and symbols:
Safety goggles must be worn
Read the instruction manual before using the machine

2.2.4 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never disconnect the Earthing connection and make sure it is always connected
correctly.
• Always disconnect the power supply before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
• Always disconnect the power supply when the machine is not in use.
• Check the condition of cables regularly. If they are worn or damaged, replace them immediately.
• Keep all electrical connections safe from water and other liquids.
• Do not pull violently on the electrical power cord.

machine and the electrical cables.
2.3 RESIDUAL RISKS
The Berna simply duplicator machine has been designed with the utmost care to ensure it is
safe during transport, adjustment, duplication and maintenance. Nonetheless, it is impossible to
eliminate all risks, whether for technological reasons or for issues related to use of the machine
(excessively complex operations). Therefore, the following residual risks should be taken into con-
sideration when using the machine, as well as the risks associated with its use:
