I posted this on chesschat but did not get any laws of chess type replies.
================================
When the 40 move time control was played with no increment, players waited till their clock reached zero time before making a claim for passing the 40 moves. They then took the risk that if they had not made 40 moves, they would lose on time.

What is meant to be the procedure when a 30 or 60 second increment is used?

I have had a few situations where the players have reached the 40 moves by the score sheets, but due to not having pressed the dgt clock a couple of times, the clock has not added the extra time for the second period automatically.

Also have had a few situations where the players have double pressed the dgt clocks, so the extra time is added before they reach the 40 moves by their score sheets.

The laws of chess seem to only cover guillotine 40 move procedures.

What is the arbiter meant to do in both situations?

The best solution (and the one used at the Olympiad) is to only add the additional time once one clock reaches zero. Therefore, once the first time control has been reached (which should be obvious to any competent arbiter and alert player), a player can make a claim if his score sheet shows less than 40 moves have been played, just like in the old days.
Don't rely on the move count from the clock, as as you have observed, this can lead to trouble.
Of course this depends upon the brand and feature of the digital clocks used.
