Build a machine-specific plan
This is a maintenance planning aid, not an operating or repair procedure. Trained staff should use the machine manuals to define tasks, intervals and records.
Separate observation from intervention
From designated safe positions, record unusual noise, leaks, alarms and changing readings. Do not reach into moving machinery, remove guards or touch hot components for inspection.
Control hazardous energy before maintenance
Before cleaning cutters, dies or screens or clearing blockages, qualified personnel must follow machine and site procedures to stop, isolate and verify control of electrical, thermal, pressure and stored mechanical energy. Escalate abnormal conditions to the equipment service provider.
