4Safety

4.1 Basic Safety Instructions

Work and assembly benches can be dangerous if used improperly. Therefore, observe the safety instructions

listed in this chapter and the accident prevention regulations of your employer's liability insurance association!

The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage and malfunctions resulting from failure to

observe these operating instructions.

4.2 Application Area and Intended Use

The hydraulically adjustable supporters of the AM series conform to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and

are therefore suitable as technical equipment for both industrial and commercial applications as well as for train-

ing purposes in educational institutions.

Improper use can lead to danger to persons and to a defect or damage to the supporter

The supporter is primarily intended for operation in covered indoor areas, but it can also be used outdoors

for loading and unloading purposes (e.g. from the service vehicle to the place of use).

Work on the supporter may only be performed at sufficiently illuminated workplaces.

The supporter is intended for processing, equipping, assembling and transporting assemblies, workpieces

and similar components as well as for lifting, lowering and moving loads.

The supporter may only be used on horizontal floors for lifting loads.

The supporter may only be moved when the load is lowered.

The supporter must be positioned freely in the room when lifting and lowering. This means

that no shearing or crushing edges may be caused by the movement of the work and assembly bench.

The maximum load (see 5 “Technical Specifications”) with load center in the middle of the supporter

must not be exceeded. If the supporter is loaded unevenly, outside the load center of gravity, the load ca-

pacity is of the maximum permitted load capacity (see Figure 1).

The supporter is not intended for moving and transporting persons.

The supporter must not be operated in potentially explosive working areas. Any other use is considered

improper and prohibited.

4.3 Improper Use

Improper use is when the supporter is used for purposes other than those prescribed in this operating manual

and in section 4, for example

Use and application for private or non-commercial purposes,

Use in disregard of the regulations in the operating manual,

use after unauthorized conversions or modifications,

Exceeding the maximum permissible load (see Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden. “

Technical Specifications”)

Transporting or conveying persons with the work and assembly bench

Entering the work and assembly bench

In case of improper use of the work and assembly bench, any warranty, liability and other claims for damages of

the operator against the manufacturer are excluded!

BA_BM_AM-400-500-1200_EN_46-21.docx

4.4 Consequences in Case of Disregard

If the supporter is not operated, maintained or repaired in accordance with the safety regulations, not as in-

tended, improperly or in an abusive manner, the following will result:

Dangers to the health of the operating personnel

Dangers to the supporter and objects in its vicinity

Impairment of the supporter function

In case of improper use of the work and assembly bench, any warranty, liability and other claims for damages

of the operator against the manufacturer are excluded!

4.5 Conversions and Modifications of Supporter

Only use the supporter in its original condition, i.e. as delivered!

The components of the supporter must not be changed in their type and condition.

Only original spare parts and accessories from the manufacturer (see 15) may be used.

Deviations are not permitted.



Unauthorized modifications or conversions by the operator, without the written consent of

the manufacturer, are prohibited. This excludes any warranty, liability and other claims for

damages by the operator against the manufacturer!

4.6 Load Distribution and Influence on the Nominal Load

The nominal, maximum permissible load of supporter is based on a load evenly distributed on the platform. If

the load cannot be distributed evenly on the platform, the maximum permissible load must be reduced according

to the figures below.
