R
The word ACHTUNG (CAUTION) or WARNUNG (WARNING) has been
incorporated into safety references the non-observance of which may lead to
dangers for the machine and its functions.
General instructions are characterised with the following symbol:
3.2 Staff qualification and training
The staff designated for operation, maintenance, inspection and assembly
must fulfil the qualifications required for these operations. Field of responsibility,
competence and control of staff must be exactly regulated by the user. If the
staff do not possess the qualifications required, these must be provided with
the necessary training and instructions. This can, if necessary, be implemented
by the manufacturer/supplier on behalf of the user. Furthermore, the user shall
ensure that the contents of the Operating Instructions are fully understood by
the personnel.
The Schweißtechnische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt München (SLV) (Training
and Testing Institute of Welding) offers appropriate training courses.
3.3 Dangers resulting from non-observance of safety instructions
Non-observance of safety instructions may not only represent danger to
persons, but also to the welding system and the environment. If the safety
instructions are not observed, this may lead to a complete loss of warranty
claims.
Non-observance may for example lead to the following individual dangers:
Failure of important functions of the system
Failure of prescribed methods for maintenance and repair
Danger to persons by electric, mechanic, thermal and acoustic influences
3.4 Safety-conscious working
The safety instructions stipulated in these Operating Instructions, the existing
national regulations governing accident prevention, as well as possible interna-
tional work, operating and safety regulations of the Operator must be
observed.
