2.3- WORKING OPTIONS

According to the feeding motion directions, two types of machine are defined:

Right machine: if the feeding motion (feed conveyor belt direction) goes from the
right to the left of the operator.

Left machine: if the feeding motion (feed conveyor belt direction) goes from the
left to the right of the operator.

2.4- NOISE

The machine has been designed and carried out in order to reduce the aerial noise
from the source (European Norm 89/392, Enclosure I, part. 1.5.8.) to the min. level.
Besides, according to the UNI Norm 7712, a phonometric research has been led
it has given the following results:

LCA70-416
• AVERAGE SOUND LEVEL Lp = 81.35 dB (A);
• STANDARD SOUND POWER LEVEL Ln = 103.74 dB (A);
• MAX. VALUE OF THE PRESSURE IN THE WORKING PLACE (not nec-
essary since inferior to 63 Pa).

LCA100-312
• AVERAGE SOUND LEVEL Lp = 81.77 dB (A);
• STANDARD SOUND POWER LEVEL Ln = 104 dB (A);
• MAX. VALUE OF THE PRESSURE IN THE WORKING PLACE (not nec-
essary since inferior to 63 Pa).

LCA200-312
• AVERAGE SOUND LEVEL Lp = 83.2 dB (A);
__________________________________________________________________________________
IL PRESENTE MANUALE È DI PROPRIETÀ DELLA barsanti macchine. OGNI RIPRODUZIONE È VIETATA.
14
 • STANDARD SOUND POWER LEVEL Ln = 105.9 dB (A);
• MAX. VALUE OF THE PRESSURE IN THE WORKING PLACE (not nec-
essary since inferior to 63 Pa).

The surveys have been made with integrating phonometer LARSON-DAVIS 710
weighting network A and slow dynamic class 1 IEC 651 and IEC 804.
If the machine is placed i a reverberating place or in the presence of other noise
sources and the level of daily personal exposure turns out to be over 85 dB (A), the
employee may run risk. This situation is ruled by Departmental Order n. 277/91. In that
case the employer will have to arrange the necessary measures to reduce noise (sound
absorbent logging, baffles, cabins, earphones, etc.).
Further information concerning the problems relating to noise are quoted in para-
graph 3.8.

3.- SECURITY AND ACCIDENT-PREVENTION

3.1 - GENERAL NOTES

The staff employed in the machine use must be properly told by the employer
above the accident risks, the devices for the operator security, the noise risks and the
general accident-prevention rules scheduled in the International Norms and the legisla-
tion in force in the Country where the machine will be delivered (look at paragraph
3.9).
Before starting any working progress, the operator must have read, in each of its
parts, this workbook and have understood every mentioned directions; especially he
must know the mechanic and functional features of the machine, the running of all the
control system and their exact place on the machine itself.
The BARSANTI’s technicians are present at the assembly and starting of the ma-
chine in situ and they train the staff employed in the machine use.
The machine must be handled exclusively by the operators who have attended the
training.

It’s important to highlight that all the directions, notes and accident-prevention
rules quoted in this workbook must be observed in full.

The tampering or replacement without authorisations of one or more parts of the

machine, the use of tools and materials different from those recommended by the
maker and, generally, any improper use of the machine itself might cause acci-
dents to the operator to the exposed persons; in this case the maker is relieved of
civil and criminal liability.

According to the European Norm about Machines (89/392/EEC) the following

definitions are notified (enclosure 1, par.1.1.1.).

__________________________________________________________________________________
IL PRESENTE MANUALE È DI PROPRIETÀ DELLA barsanti macchine. OGNI RIPRODUZIONE È VIETATA.
16
Dangerous zone: any zone surrounding the machine in which the presence of an
exposed person is a risk for the security and health of the above-named person.

Exposed person: any person who stands completely or partly in a dangerous zone.

Operator: the persons appointed to install, start, regulate, maintain, clean, repair
and transport a machine.

3.2- SCHEDULED USE OF THE MACHINE

The use of the machine is scheduled exclusively for the gauging and/or polishing
of marble slabs (strips) whose max. and min. sizes are quoted in tables 2.1, 2.3 and 2.5.

It is absolutely forbidden the machine use for the treatment of materials different
from those quoted above, because this isn’t scheduled in the features of the ma-
chine working.

3.3- GENERAL SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS

The working place must be kept constantly clean and clear of obstructions.

The ordinary and extraordinary maintenance must take place when the machine
doesn’t work and doesn’t receive electric feeding.
It is forbidden to insert hands and any kind of tools or objects in the working
machine.

When operations on the pneumatic system are necessary, the inner pressure must
be released.
The repairs of the electric systems must be carried out in the lack of electric ten-
sion and with the emergency key on.

__________________________________________________________________________________
IL PRESENTE MANUALE È DI PROPRIETÀ DELLA barsanti macchine. OGNI RIPRODUZIONE È VIETATA.
17
 Besides it is a good principle not to place the fluid case near the electric parts.
The operator must not put into practice any move or operation which are not
scheduled for the machine process.

The removal or inhibition of the safety devices and the protective barriers is ab-
solutely forbidden.

As far as the personal protective devices, we inform that the European Commu-
nity has issued the Norms 89/686/EEC and 89/656/ECC.
Especially, in case of need, the operator, must wear protective glasses, personal
accessories (earphones, ear plugs), proper clothes to protect himself from noise as well
as clothing suitable for the work place and for the specific situation.
Besides the operator and the maintenance employee must not wear necklaces,
bracelets, rings or other accessories which might cause risk and, if necessary, they must
adopt devices in order to hold the hair (hair-nets, caps, etc.).

3.4- LIGHTING AND AERATION

The customer has to light up the working place properly, avoiding shadow zones,
annoying head lights and dangerous stroboscopic effects.
We remind the ISO Norm 8995-89, concerning the lighting of working places
and we underline that the lack of proper lighting could cause some risks.
Besides the customer has to guarantee a due aeration of the rooms.

3.5- CONNECTIONS

The ducts of the electric, pneumatic and water feeding system must be suitable to
support the max. scheduled load (look at table 2.1, 2.3 and 2.5).
The electrical connections must be take in count of the general installation rules
concerning the preparation and starting of the electric systems according to the Norm
CEI 64-8.
__________________________________________________________________________________

18
 The installation and connection of the electric system need skilled labour, that is
to say persons who have attended a training class and are experienced in the installa-
tion, starting and maintenance of systems and know the accident-prevention rules (look
at paragraph 3.9).
The skilled staff must have the basic knowledge of first aid in case of accident.

3.6- GROUNDING SYSTEM

The machine metal parts must be grounded; this operation is carried out by insu-
lated wires connected to the grounding bar of the control panel.
The Norm CEI 64-8 quotes the directions for the execution of the grounding sys-
tem.
The protective grounding system must be one for all the machine parts, circuits
and devices.
The grounding system must be made with materials furnished with proper solidity
or, alternatively, with proper mechanic protection.
The main grounding connection must be as brief as possible and the earth wire
must not be put under mechanic stress or corrosion danger.

3.7- SAFETY DEVICES

According to the directive 89/392/EEC the machine is provided with the follo-
wing safety devices.
Fixed and/or movable safety barriers delimiting the machine with electronic safety
devices, working according to this logic:

3.8- NOISE

The machine, as said before (look at paragraph 2.4) has been thought and de-
signed in order to reduce the level of the source sound power (Norm 89/392/EEC, An-
nex I, par. 1.5.8.).
As regards the max. and min. sound power levels and the logarithmic medium
value with exposure equal time, we refer to paragraph 2.4.
If the everyday personal exposure level (i.e. the medium value of sound pressure
level to which the operator is subjected during his work) should result over 85 dB (A),
for example if the machine is placed in a reverberating room or in presence of other
noise sources, the operator runs a risk from noise.
In that case the employer has to take the necessary countermeasures in order to
reduce the noise level, arranging screens, acoustic-deadening wall covering, machine
cabins, etc., and if necessary providing the operator with proper individual protective
devices (ear plugs, caps).
These devices are regulated by the Norms 89/686 and 89/656/EEC. In Italy we
must also refer to the Departmental Order N.277/91 which has absorbed the European
Norms 80/1107/EEC, 82/605/EEC, 73/477/EEC, 86/188/EEC and 88/642/EEC.

4.5 - FIRST STARTING DIRECTIONS

4.5.1 - GENERAL NOTES

Before performing the first starting of the polishing machine LCA it’s absolutely
necessary to carry out all the verifications shown at paragraph 4.5.2 .

4.5.2 - PRELIMINARY VERIFICATIONS

• Lubricate all the points in which it is required (refer to the schedule of ordinary
maintenance described in the paragraph 6.2.1);
• verify and, if necessary, regulate the calibration of the motor protection ther-
mal circuit breaker: they must be governed with reference to the plate values
of each motor (refer to the ordinary maintenance program shown at the para-
graph 6.3.1);
• check the alignment between the tiles guide and the conveyer belt (this control
is required for LCA70 and LCA100);
• check the line of advancement of the conveyer belt and effect, if necessary, the
scheduled regulation through a tightening device positioned on the loose roll;
• verify the correct assembly of the sectors on the abrasive carrier plate;
• verify that the grounding connection is in perfect working order;
• verify the right positioning of the accident prevention protections.

After the connection of the electric line, the insulation of the electric panel
must remain IP 55.

The connection to the machine equipotential protection circuit must be per-

formed as prescribed by the rules IEC 204, IEC 364-5-54 and EN 60439-1.

 The electric protection, upstream the line, must be secured with a magneto-
thermic switch whose interruption power is superior or the same as the one speci-
fied on the identification plate of the electric panel placed inside the panel itself.

Verify that the environment lighting is sufficient for the machine ordinary
use: it’s necessary there aren’t shades on the devices, as they could endanger the
operator safety, both during the working and during the machine maintenance.

4.5.3- FUNCTIONALITY VERIFICATIONS

After having performed the operations described in the previous paragraph it’s
possible now to apply voltage to the machine and proceed with the functionality verifi-
cations listed below:
• verify the integrity and right working of the safety devices;
• verify the right sense of rotation of the motors of the honing spindles, of the
gauging spindles, of the conveyer belt and of the motorised rollers;
• adjust the feed speed of the rollers and of the conveyer belt;
• verify the efficiency of the electric limit switch;
• start the motors of the honing and gauging spindles verifying the absence of
vibrations;
• verify the machine right movements including the respective safety limits;

5.- WORKING DESCRIPTION

5.1 - GENERAL NOTES

The gauging-polishing machine LCA (70-100-200) is employed for the gauging

and polishing of marble slabs (strips). The slabs slide on the conveyor belt and are first
processed by a series (max. 4) of gauging spindles and, subsequently, by a series (2÷16)
of polishing spindles.
The polishing spindles are installed on a bridge having an alternate motion. The
composition of the abrasive carrier plate rotating motion with the spindle carrier bridge
alternate motion allows a continuous polishing of the slabs without deadlocks.
All the operating parameters, i.e. the feed slab speed, the polishing wheel pres-
sure, the polishing spindle carrier bridge speed, etc., are electronically adjustable.
The machine is furnished with two motor conveyors either with loose or with
motorised rolls, respectively for the loading and unloading of the slabs. In case of mo-
torised rolls it is possible require to arrange the roll running and stopping drives directly
on the machine main panel.
Similarly an electro-blowing fan for the strip drying and tailing removal, can be
installed on request at the machine outlet side. In that case either the running and the
stopping drives are input on the main panel.
The basic frame consists of an electrowelded steel bed on which there is the belt
sliding plane made of special rectified antiwear steel without taking up the processing,
in order to obtain the perfect levelness of the surface and the processing of very slim
slabs without breaking danger.
The driving drums of the conveyor belt, which slides on the ground table, are
placed at the bed edges. The motor drum is operated by an adjustable speed motor. The
idle drum is furnished with a belt tension device. On the bed lower part there are some
belt transmission rolls which sustain the belt itself avoiding its inflection.
The conveyor belt has a special profiled frame which guarantees the slab stability
during the processing; the belt speed is also adjustable during the processing.
The spindle carrier bridge consists of a steel enblock with a very rigid tubular
structure in order to avoid flexural or torsional yielding. It has an alternate motion or-
thogonal compared to the slab direction feed; the motion is driven by a gear motor unit
__________________________________________________________________________________

33
which is positioned on the bridge and, through shaftings, carries the motion to two pin-
ions sliding on two racks. Only for polishing machine LCA 70, Barsanti can substitute
the motion through pinion and rack with a crank mechanism (look at technical drawings
enclosed)
The polishing spindle slots are on the bridge axle in a barycentric position to give
the system the highest stability and to avoid any torsional motion.
The bridge leans, at its edge, with two slides over rollers which run on a fixed
guide. This guide is constrained to the machine carrying structure. The clearance could
be regulated through four bronze gibs so that a perfect motion of the bridge which car-
ries spindles is allowed.
The gauging spindle is a modular operating unit which has, at its edges, the dia-
mond abrasives necessary for the marble slab calibration.
The shaft obtained by one piece of special steel, rotates on the radial bearings two
of which with diamond balls and it is able to bear hard working conditions.
The spindle vertical movement is obtained thank to a gear motor group which
contains a big cylinder coaxial to the shaft.
The particular arranging shape allows the stem shifting together with the shaft
and the related bearings, giving the group a remarkable stability and compactness.
The polishing spindle is a modular operating unit which has, at its edges, the
abrasives for the polishing phase.
The spindle head vertical movement is obtained by means of a pneumatic system
whose working pressure is adjustable for each spindle from the control panel placed in
front of the spindle itself.
The polishing head up- and down-stroke sequence is automatically controlled by
a sequence device placed on the main control panel.
The spindles are protected by cases made of removable acoustic insulation for
abrasive changing operations.
The electric-electronic system is all assembled in a cabinet located in a sheltered
skeleton area, with the control board within the operator’s reach.
The cabinet is furnished with a forced ventilation device which operates auto-
matically when the inner temperature is over 35°C. This device consists of a tower aspi-
rator placed in the cabinet upper part and of two air cleaners located on the cabinet
frontal side.

34
 The disconnecting switch which interrupts the electric feed to the whole machine
is placed on the material entry side.
The wiring harness for the connection to the different using points is channelled
on the bridge back side.
The pneumatic system drives the polishing head intervention and conditions their
working pressure.
The pneumatic functions, necessary for the spindle and head driving, are auto-
matically carried out by the equipment assembled in a water tight room placed in front
of each spindle.
The water system guarantees the water flow necessary to refrigerate the swain
sectors, to clean the slabs and to grease the conveyor belt.
The refrigerating water cocks are placed in front of each gauging and polishing
spindle. The connection is normally carried out on the network.

FINISHING SPINDLES WORK SEQUENCY CONTROL

CONTROLLO SEQUENZA MANDRINI FINITURA

This device is the HB548.44 sequence device (look at enclosure C) which con-
trols the polishing spindle up- and down-stroke.
On limit switch signal, which reveals the marble slab passage, the sequence device
codes the polishing spindle head down-stroke in order to let each spindle start the slab
polishing only when the slab slides under the spindle itself. When the slab is discharged
and there aren’t any following slabs, on stop signal, the sequence device codes the pol-
ishing spindle head up-stroke.
The polishing head down-stroke is conditioned by the spindle power up which
can take place just pressing the START push-button placed on the panel in front of
each head.

Impulsively pressing the key or the key the following

statements are showed on the display:

1) the “programme in use” and the “work linear meters”; pressing the key
for about one second the worked linear meter counter is set at zero;
2) the “belt speed expressed in m/min” and the worked piece number”; pressing

the key for about one second the worked piece counter is set at zero;

3) the “frequency meter” and the “piece length”; pressing the key for
about one second the computation is set at zero.

Continuously pressing the key or the key the continuous

This selector concerns the gauging head up- (left) and down- (right) stroke
(every gauging head has an own selector).
The gauging head down-stroke is conditioned by the spindle motor starting which
can take place only the START push-buttons placed on the panels in front of each
head.
On each gauging spindle is set up a down-stroke limit switch which, when em-
ployed, interrupts the head down-stroke, and an up-stroke stop which interrupts the
head up-stroke.
On the left of the selector there is the HB235.30 level display which allows to
read the gauging head dimension and the display on which it is possible to read the
gauging spindle motor current measure (in Ampere) in the working phase.

This led device (one for each gauging head) indicates the “Ampere” absorbed by
the gauging spindle during the working phase; it is possible to set an absorption limit
behind which the machine stops.

MEASUREMENT
MISURA

This device (one for each gauging head) is the HB235.30 level display (look at
enclosure D) which allows to read the gauging head level, compared to the conveyor
belt, in order to programme the thickness to which the marble slabs have to be cali-
brated entering the machine.
For the gauging spindle head vertical shifting it is possible to press the GAUG-
ING HEADF UP- AND DOWN-STROKE push-buttons placed, for each spindle, on
the main control panel.
A gauging head vertical position precise calibration can be carried out by the
VEM spindles operating normally on the hand grip placed in front of each spindle. In

that case, never operate at the same time on the GAUGING HEAD UP- AND DOWN-
STROKE push-buttons.

5.3- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: WORKING CYCLES

To carry out a working cycle it is necessary to operate in the following way:

• apply voltage to the control panel by means of the general switch of the elec-
tric board;
• set selector 2 on “automatic cycle”;
• apply voltage to the ancillary equipment by means of selector 1;
• start the conveyor belt (selector 7-A) and adjust its speed by means of potenti-
ometer 7-B;
• start all gauging and honing spindles operating on the panel of each spindle;
• start the bridge adjusting its motion by means of potentiometer 10-B;
• start the electro-blowing fan (selector 8-A) and the loading (selector 5-A) and
the unloading (selector 4-A) conveyors;
• adjust the working pressure for each polishing spindle;
• turn on water for gauging and polishing heads refrigeration;
• feed the first slab and start processing;

To stop the rotation of a single head, it is necessary to operate on the push-

buttons of the proper panel.

6.- MAINTENANCE

6.1 - GENERAL NOTES

Ordinary and extraordinary maintenance requires a specific competence and so it

has to be carried out only by authorised and skilled stuff.
Some maintenance operations must be carried out when the electric feeding of
the machine is off. Other maintenance operations are considered not hazardous, or in-
nocuous for the operator, and therefore they could be carried out when the machine is
working.
When the electric system is working, there is a dangerous tension, so it is abso-
lutely necessary to keep in mind that:

The behaviour not in keeping with security directions could cause great
damage to people or things. It is therefore necessary to comply with the use and
maintenance directions quoted in this workbook and with the warnings and notes
on the machine itself.

When every machine ordinary and extraordinary maintenance operator gets ready
to carry out a maintenance intervention, for which the machine complete stopping is re-
quired, he has to:
• set the key switch in the “0” position (in this position the feeding is interrupted
for all the AUXILIARY circuits and for those of the machine power);
• pull out the key from the circuit breaker and guarded throughout the intervention
in order to operate in complete security avoiding that, someone could uninten-
tionally start the machine;
• take the tension out the machine with the general circuit breaker.
The electric panel opening keys must be used exclusively by skilled stuff author-
ised to operate in the panel itself.
The electric and mechanic maintenance regular intervals have to be respected.
The possible replacement of damaged or badly working components must be car-
ried out exclusively with BARSANTI’s spare parts for a machine good working.
__________________________________________________________________________________

49
 Once the maintenance interventions have been carried out, before starting the
machine again, you must check:
• that the replaced parts in the equipment employed during the intervention have
been removed from the machine;
• the safety device working order.

We highlight once more that, before carrying out any intervention on the
machine it is necessary to look over the directions quoted in this workbook.

Discharge the used oils in conformity with the local lows and norms.

6.2 - MECHANIC MAINTENANCE

6.2.1- PERIODIC ORDINARY MECHANIC MAINTENANCE

The above periodic ordinary mechanic maintenance interventions have to be car-

ried out compulsorily when the machine doesn’t work and is without electric feeding,
following the directions mentioned in par. “6.1. General notes”.

1 ) Periodicity 40 working hours:

• manual cleaning of the machine taking particular care to all those parts which,
during the working, are more subjected than others to the nebulization of the
cutting compound together with the dust produced during the working. For
this operation it isn’t advisable to use the hydrojet because its working pres-
sure might favour the dust entry inside the moving parts even if these last are
well protected.

WARNING: During the machine cleaning procedures avoid to wet the

electric components (push-buttons, motors, limits, etc.).

 • grease the bearings of the driving head through the proper nipples (part. 7-11-
drawing: Frame);
• grease the bearings of the tensioning head through the proper nipples (part. 7-
11- drawing: Frame);
• grease the bearings of the gauging head through the proper nipples (part. 12-
29-38 drawing: Gauging spindle);
• grease the slides of the movable support of the gauging head (part. 32- draw-
ing: Gauging spindle);
• grease the worm gear and the female screw for the rise/descent of the gauging
head (part. 18 - drawing: Gauging spindle);
• grease the bearings of the polishing head (part. 13-22- drawing: Bridge);
• grease, through the proper nipples, the bearings of the support of the shaft for
bridge motion transmission (part. 7 - drawing: Bridge heads);
• grease the pinion and the rack for bridge motion (part. 9-10 - drawing: Bridge
heads);
• grease the rolls for bridge motion and their gibs for clearance regulation (part.
20-26 - drawing: Bridge heads);

2 ) Periodicity 1000 working hours:

• check the correctness of the conveyor belt tensioning and position: if belt ten-
sioning is necessary, act on proper turnbuckle.

6.3 - ELECTRIC MAINTENANCE

6.3.1- PERIODIC ORDINARY ELECTRIC MAINTENANCE

1 ) Periodicity 40 working hours: (these verifications may be performed with the

machine alive)

• make a test of emergency circuits right working.

__________________________________________________________________________________
IL PRESENTE MANUALE È DI PROPRIETÀ DELLA barsanti macchine. OGNI RIPRODUZIONE È VIETATA.
51
 2 ) Periodicity 200 working hours: (these verifications may be performed while
the machine is working)

• verify all the machine limits efficiency;

• verify the encoders joints efficiency.

3 ) Periodicity 2000 working hours: (these verifications must be performed with

the machine idle)

• verify the efficiency of the equipment and devices inside the panel including the
grounding;
• verify the signalling lamps working.

6.4- EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE

If extraordinary maintenance is needed, it must be carried out by skilled and

authorised stuff, following the directions quoted in paragraph “6.1. General notes”.
If an emergency has occurred, before automatically or manually starting the ma-
chine again, check carefully the cause of the emergency itself.
However, for any machine repairs, we recommend to address to the BAR-
SANTI’s skilled staff.

7.- WASTE DISPOSAL

7.1 - GENERAL NOTES

We define waste as any abandoned material or object produced by human or

natural cycle activity.
The following waste categories have to be considered as special waste:
• industrial, agricultural, artisan, commercial and service tailings which can not be
assimilated to the city waste;
• damaged and out-of-date machinery and equipment;
• motor vehicles and their unserviceable components.
We define toxic-noxious all the waste containing or contaminated by the sub-
stances quoted in the President of the Republic Order 915/82, which has absorbed the
Norms 75/442/EEC, 76/403/EEC and 78/319/EEC.

7.2 - PROVISIONAL STOCKING

Waiting for the toxic-noxious waste disposal with proper treatment and final
stocking, the waste provisional stocking is allowed and it has to be carried out in con-
formity with environmental protection laws in force in the consumer’s Country.
The stationary and mobile containers for the waste provisional stocking must
have proper strength feature, on the basis of chemical and physical properties and the
waste danger itself.
Well-timed warnings placed on the containers show their content (inflammables,
explosives, carcinogens, etc.).

7.3 - DISPOSAL AND RECORD DUTIES

Toxic-noxious or special waste producing firms must have proper charging and
discharging registers in conformity with the President of the Republic Order 23rd Au-
gust, 1982 which has absorbed the European Norm 75/439, concerning the used oil
elimination.
The above-said waste collection is carried out by authorised firms, to whom the
transport is entrusted by contract.
The carrier must be enrolled in the professional Register and have the necessary
authorisations.

7.4 - MACHINE SCRAPPING

Scrapping and disassembly operations must be carried out by skilled stuff.

The Laws in force in the consumer’s Country must be obeyed, but generally, to
dismantle a machine, proceed in the following way:
1. disconnect the machine from the electric, water and pneumatic system;
2. consult carefully environmental protection laws in force in the consumer’s Coun-
try;
3. obeying the low, ask for the concerned Body check and the scrapping consequent
recording;
4. carry out the emptying and stocking of the mechanic lubrication liquids;
5. carry out the emptying and stocking of the machine possible acids or noxious
substances;
6. proceed to the disassembly of the machine parts, grouping the components on the
basis of their chemical nature;
7. proceed to the scrapping, obeying the Laws in force in the consumer’s Country.
During the component disassembly phases, it is necessary to observe the Euro-
pean Norms concerning workers’ safety (look at paragraph 3.9).
