2. General Safety And Accident Preven-
tion Standards
2.1. Level of danger
The safety of the operator and exposed persons is the main
concern of the designer and the manufacturer of the machine.
When designing a new machine, one tries to plan for all pos-
sible danger situations and risks connected to using the ma-
chine, adopting the steps necessary to make the equipment
as safe as possible. It is recommended to carefully read this
manual and this section in particular, regarding safety
standards, avoiding behavior that is inappropriate or in
contrast with the instructions contained in this manual.
Pay attention to the following danger signal contained in this
manual and follow safety instructions.
SAFETY GUIDELINES – DEFINITIONS
It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The infor-
mation it contains relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING
PROBLEMS. The symbols below are used to help you recognize this in-
formation.
DANGER!
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING!
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.
CAUTION!
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
NOTE: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially haz-
ardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
2.2. Terminology
The danger levels indicated refer to specific risk situations that
may occur during use of the Shears and that may involve the
equipment, as well as the operator and any exposed persons
(according to Directive 2006/42/EC). With the purpose of high-
lighting situations or operations that may result in risks, the
meanings of terms used in this manual are indicated here:
• HAZARDOUS AREA: Any area in and/or around a machine
where the presence of an exposed person constitutes a
risk to the health and safety of said person. (Attachment
I, Point 1.1.1., Letter b), Directive 2006/42/EC).
• EXPOSED PERSON: A person fully or partly in a hazard-
ous area (Attachment I, Point 1.1.1., Letter c), Directive
2006/42/EC).
• OPERATOR: The person or personnel in charge of the
installation, the operation, the adjusting, the cleaning, the
repairing and the moving of the machine. (Attachment I,
Point 1.1.1., Letter d), Directive 2006/42/EC).
• USER: the person, entity or company, who purchased or
rented the machine and intends to use it according to the
intended use foreseen by the manufacturer.
• SPECIALIZED PERSONNEL: any person specifically
trained and approved to carry out maintenance or re-
pair interventions that require particular knowledge of
the machine, its operation, the installed safety devices,
intervention modes. It must be capable of recognizing
danger present on the actual machine, therefore avoiding
at risk situations.
• RISK: a combination of the probability and seriousness
of injury or damage to health which can arise in a dan-
gerous situation.
• GUARD: a part of the machine that is used to specifically
guarantee protection by way of a material barrier.
• PROTECTION DEVICE: a device that reduces risk (unlike
the guard) either on its own or together with the guard.
• INTENDED USE: the use of the machine in accordance with
the information provided in the operating instructions.
• REASONABLE FORESEEABLE MISUSE: the use of the
machine different to the information provided in the
operator's instructions, which may be the result of readily
predictable human behavior.
• AUTHORIZED ASSISTANCE CENTER: The Authorized
Assistance Centre, legally authorized by the Manufacturer
or Importer, is formed by specialized staff able to carry
out all types of assistance, maintenance and repair work,
even of a certain complexity, required to maintain the
machine in perfect working order.
