or leaves it to a third party for use/application and is legally responsible for the safety of the user, the
personnel or third parties during operation.

determine additional hazards resulting from the special work conditions at the place of use of
the device in a risk assessment. The owner must implement the results in the form of operating
instructions for the device.

instructions issued by him/her conform to the current state of the regulations and, if necessary,
adapt them.
• The operator must clearly regulate and define the responsibilities for installation, operation,
troubleshooting, maintenance and cleaning.
• The operator must ensure that all persons handling the device have read and understood these
instructions. In addition, the operator must train the personnel at regular intervals and inform
them about the hazards.
• The operator must make available to the personnel the required protective equipment and
oblige them to wear the required protective equipment.
• Moreover, the operator is responsible for the device always being in technically perfect condition.
Therefore, the following applies:
• The operator must make sure that the maintenance intervals described in these instructions
are observed.
• The operator must have all safety devices checked regularly for functionality and completeness.
