3.4 Responsibility of the owner
Owner
The owner is the person who operates the machine for commercial
or business purposes themselves, or hands it over to a third party for
use/application, and who assumes the legal product responsibility for
the protection of the user, the personnel or third parties during oper-
ation.
Owner obligations
The machine is used for commercial purposes. Therefore, the owner
of the machine is subject to legal occupational safety regulations.
In addition to the safety instructions in these instructions, the safety
instructions, the regulations for the prevention of accidents and envi-
ronmental protection regulations applicable at the site of the ma-
chine, must also be adhered to.
The following applies in particular:
 The owner must keep informed of the applicable occupational
health and safety regulations and identify any additional hazards,
resulting from the specific local operating conditions, by
performing a risk assessment. These must be implemented in the
form of operating instructions for the operation of the machine.
 During the full period of machine use, the owner must check
whether the operating instructions created correspond to the
current status of rules and regulations and adapt the operating
instructions if necessary.
 The owner must clearly regulate and specify responsibilities for
installation, operation, repair of malfunctions, maintenance, and
cleaning.
 The owner must ensure that all employees who work with the
machine have read and understood these instructions. In
addition, the owner must train staff at regular intervals and inform
the staff of the dangers.
 The owner must provide staff with the required safety clothing and
equipment and instruct them that wearing the required protective
equipment is mandatory.
Furthermore, the owner is responsible for ensuring that the machine
is always in a technically perfect working condition. The following re-
quirements therefore apply:
 The owner must ensure that the maintenance intervals described
in these operating instructions are adhered to.
 The owner must have all safety equipment checked regularly to
make sure it is fully functional and complete.
