2. SAFETY
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Customer shall instruct the personnel regarding accident risks, safety devices installed on the
machining centre and the general rules concerning accident prevention specified by the EU Directives
and the laws of the country where the machining centre is installed.
The operators are to know the position and functioning of all the system controls and the relevant
characteristics. Furthermore they are to have read and fully understood the contents of this handbook.
Maintenance operations are to be carried out by qualified operators and only after setting the system in
maintenance status.
Unauthorized tampering or replacement of one or more system components, use of accessories that
change the use of the same and the use of spare parts that are different to those recommended could
cause accident risks.
DANGER
It is strictly forbidden to cut out/tamper with the safety devices on the
machining centre.
The Manufacturer declines any responsibility concerning the machining centre
safety if this prohibition is ignored.

2.3.4 Noise
The noise has been measured in accordance with the requirements of acoustic standard EN ISO 11200
and related standards.
The typical phonometrical data is kept by the Manufacturer.
The machining centre operating characteristics are such that, in a dry run, overall noise generated is less
that 75 dB (A), measured in the operator workstations.
NOTE
The sound pressure level under actual working conditions will depend on the
characteristics, programming of the specific processes and the materials used.
NOTE
Measurement of the noise level to which the operators are exposed is to be
carried out by the user, in accordance with the requirements of the laws in
force in the relevant country.
2.3.5 Electromagnetic Emissions
The machining centre contains electronic components subject to the Electromagnetic Compatibility
standards, subjected to conducted and radiated emissions.
The emission values are kept in compliance with the standard by means of components installed in
accordance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility directive, appropriate connections and the installation
of filters where necessary.
Therefore the machining centre is in conformity with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC).
WARNING
Any maintenance activitieson electrical equipment carried out in a manner that
does not conform, or wrong replacement of components, could jeopardise the
efficiency of the equipment.
