personal safety, if they are open or disassembled. This point is also applicable for the preventive
device of manipulator.
4 The safety limit switches should always be kept in good order. The safety limit switches may not be
overlapped or discarded.
5 The cover plate grating, grid bar or guard grating are usually installed and delivered together with
the machine. They can only be disassembled with tools. And the machines with such kind of
devices can never put into work until the above-said devices have been properly installed.
6 The driving motor must be switched off completely when carrying out inspection, commissioning,
repair and maintenance. This can be realized through a full-phase separating and lockable switch
installed near the machine or on the operation desk and control panel on the site. It is not enough

11 If the operators employed cannot read or write, the owner has the duty to explain to them clearly
where dangers exist and warn them that special attention should be paid.
12 The cleaning, lubricating and oiling of the machine or its parts and components may be carried out
only when the machine is stopped. If you must climb on or enter the machine to do such work, the
mandatory provisions shall be made without exception: the power supply of motors must be cut off
completely and the switch must be locked! Attention must be paid to safety measures for climbing.
13 Be careful, sampling from inside the machine can never be carried out unless there is not any
danger. Usually, the samples can be taken from the pipe under the machine instead of inside
machine.
14 Clear off the deposited dust, dirties and materials frequently. Keeping the machine clean can
enhance production safety and the cleaning level of workshop, and is also beneficial to dust
explosion prevention.
15 If oil (grease) leakage occurs, clean it immediately and seal well the place where leakage occurs,
for oil or grease leaked on the floor will easily bring about hazards to the operators.
16 In production operation, the machine must be equipped with safety devices, which may be neither
removed and abandoned nor reduced in functions. Otherwise, we are not responsible for any
accidents resulted here from, and reserve the right to ascertain where the responsibility lies.

(2) If the tools such as welding machine or soldering lamp (flame soldering lamp) etc. are required for
repair or installation, do as best as possible to arrange the work in a special workshop or on a special
site.
(3) If it is necessary to carry out welding or the like directly in production area or storehouse once in a
while, written applications must be submitted to a related supervisor in advance for written approval.
The above mentioned operations can be carried out only when special safety measures have been
taken, such as laying pieces of water soaked canvas or canvas special for covering on the
surrounding area and preparing fire extinguishers. After completion of the operation, the welding site
and the surrounding area are to be monitored at least for 10h. The gas cutting sparks are very
dangerous, for people can't see where they will fly on earth. They can cross through the narrow
clearance of walls and drop downstairs or to the next rooms, or even fly off 10 m away in distance. If
the sparks drop in dusts, fire accidents may occur at any time.
(4) Welding is prohibited on a running conveyor. If the welding work is necessary, shut down the machine
first, and then make a thorough cleaning and isolate both sides of the welding site tightly with
materials like mineral wool to avoid connecting with other conveying devices, silos or tanks. If the
work is to be done on the chutes or conveying pipes, it is necessary to disassemble them or divert
their lower ends and seal them to avoid welding sparks entering the conveying pipes or silos.
