• Generally applicable safety instructions and safety regulations to be observed

• Explanation of the meaning of symbols and pictograms which are used in this manual and in signs on the machine

• Location of safety and monitoring devices on the machine

• Information on protective equipment required and of requirements for operators and maintenance personnel

Specific activity-related and situation-related safety instructions are given in the corresponding procedures in the following chapters of this manual and in other parts of the documentation.

3.1.2 Latest technology

The supplied machine meets the standards of the latest technology at the time of delivery.

However, the equipment may pose dangers unless the safety instructions in this guide are observed and implemented.

Safety

3.2 Proper use

The proper use of the machine is essential for its safe operation.

The equipment supplied

• is listed and labelled;

• determines the possible uses of the machine.

The printing system is essentially designed as an output station for print data and therefore for printing materials in roll and panel formats up to a thickness of 50 mm.

Its proper use is therefore restricted to the printing of flexible and rigid, non-combustible materials.

Any other use or any use going beyond this scope constitutes improper use. The user bears sole liability for any damage arising as a consequence.

Proper use of the machine also requires:

• compliance with applicable national safety regulations;

• observation of the safety instructions in this operating manual;

• compliance with the conditions of use and use of the specified operating materials.

Safety

3.3 Examples of improper use

Improper use of the machine can:

•cause injury

• result in serious damage to the machine

• lead to loss of warranty

Improper use of the machine includes, among other things:

• Any structural modification to the machine without written agreement from the manufacturer

• Servicing work performed by untrained or unauthorised personnel

• Installation of spare parts and use of resources not approved by the manufacturer

• Deliberate or careless interference with the machine during operation

• Use of chemicals (ink, cleaning agents) without adequate personal protective equipment

• Commissioning of the machine

– by persons not authorised by the owner

– by untrained personnel

– without the designated protective and safety measures

– if the operating manual is incomplete

• Use of ink and other chemicals not approved by swissQprint

• Non-adherence to maintenance requirements

• failure to react to signs of wear and damage

Safety

• refers to a dangerous situation,

• refers to operational and service risks;

• Warns of serious damage to the equipment or other material damage or consequential damage.

Tip! Tip! Is used to designate user tips and useful information which enhance the usability and prolong

the service life of the machine and make the work significantly easier.

Danger!

The Danger safety advice

• refers to an immediate threat

• refers to operational and service risks

• warns of serious effects on health and safety, including life-threatening injuries

Warning!

• refers to a dangerous situation,

• refers to operational and service risks;

Safety devices must never be bypassed or rendered ineffective.

If malfunctions cannot be remedied by the operators using simple measures, then the responsible service station must be informed.

Safety

3.9 Danger areas

Operation is divided into the following work phases:

•Printing
