2.2 Organizational Measures
The Operating Instructions are to be kept near where the machine is located and must
be reachable at all times.
In addition to this manual, general and legal regulations regarding accident prevention and
environmental protection must be complied with. These may for example relate to the handling of
hazardous substances or to the provision and wearing of personal protection equipment, as well

particular the section on safety.
From time to time the working practices of the staff are to be checked for awareness of safety and
hazards.
Personnel must tie back long hair and not wear loose clothing or jewelry. There is a risk of injury if
loose items become stuck or are drawn into moving machinery.
Use personal protection equipment if necessary or required by regulations. Take notice
of all safety and hazard notices on the machine.
All safety and hazard notices on the machine must be kept complete and legible. For replacement
labels, contact NFE.
If safety-critical changes occur to the machine or its performance, the machine must be shut down
immediately! The cause of the fault must be established and repaired before starting the work
again.
Changes, add-ons, or conversions to the machine which might have an influence on the
safety of the machine must not be undertaken without the permission of the manufacturer.
Spare parts must always comply with the technical requirements and the specifications of the
manufacturer. This is always guaranteed when using spare parts from NFE.
Inspection intervals specified in this manual must be complied with. At the same time it is necessary
to meet the legal requirements.
