fety at work and accident prevention.

• You are not permitted to make unauthorised modifications and changes to the
machine which might affect the system's safety. Accessories or spare parts pro-
duced by other manufacturers may only be used with the machine with the writ-
ten approval of the manufacturer.
• Only service personnel authorised by the manufacturer are permitted to install,
commission, maintain and repair the machine.
• Before carrying out any maintenance, repair and modification work:
– Switch the machine off using the on/off switch and secure with a lock
– Prevent the machine being switched on inadvertently by removing the mains

3.8 Procedure in case of malfunctions
In principle, any troubleshooting work or inspection on the cutter is to be carried out
only when it is switched off.
The following must never be by-passed or rendered ineffective:
• Light barriers and protective trip switches on the bar
• Monitoring sensors
• Safety and control switches in the machine
If malfunctions cannot be remedied by the operators using simple measures, then
the responsible service station must be informed.
