GENERAL REGULATIONS AND WARNINGS

1.2.4 PERSONNEL
The operations described in this manual for each stage of the machine life-cycle have been carefully and
exhaustively analysed by SIDEL S.p.A..
In this manual a minimum of three conditions for each procedure that describes the interaction between
operator and machine will be clearly set out:
* machine status operating mode and condition of safety devices on the machine;
* number of operators the number of operators required to perform the operation in question;
* qualification the qualification of the operator to whom the task is assigned.
Therefore the number of operators indicated for each job and relevant qualification is the most suitable to
perform the function safely and in an optimal manner.
Disregarding the foregoing prescriptions, e.g. by using fewer or more operators or persons without the
necessary level of qualification or setting the machine in a condition other than the specified one will
prevent the user from achieving the required result and also create hazardous conditions for the safety of
personnel.
Before starting work, the operator must be aware of the location and function of the commands and the
characteristics of the machine and must have read this manual in its entirety.
Machine operators are classified thus:
Generic operator
non-skilled person able to operate the machine using the controls on the
command panel and able to handle the loading and unloading of materials
used during production in addition to simple start up of production or resetting
after emergency stops.
Maintenance fitter
a qualified technician able to operate the machine in normal conditions, to
perform size changes, to make adjustments on mechanical parts of the
machine and to perform maintenance and repair work. Maintenance fitters are
not allowed to work on live electrical parts of the machine.
Maintenance
electrician
a qualified technician able to operate the machine in normal conditions and
suitably skilled to perform all electric adjustments, maintenance and repair
tasks; electricians can also alter the operating cycle of the machine using a
portable programmer and are allowed to work inside electrical enclosures and
junction boxes without disconnecting the power.
SIDEL S.p.A.
