X-ray radiation!
Non-compliance can lead to illnesses, irreversible damage to
body cells and the genotype, severe injuries and even death.
When performing work on the system during which radiation
must be released, the radiation protection directives and the rules
for radiation protection according to ARTD 02.731.02 must be
complied with.
Please note:
- Use available radiation protection devices.
- Wear radiation protection clothing (lead apron).
- Stay as far away as possible from the radiation source.
- Release radiation only if necessary.
- Set radiation activity as low as possible.
(Low kV and mAs values, short radiation time)
- Release radiation for as short a time as possible.
Checks in which radiation must be released are identified by the
radiation warning symbol.
Danger of burns on hot parts or components!
Non-compliance can lead to slight to medium injuries, especially
of the hands.
After opening the cover panels, parts and components
(e.g. power components, cooling units, electromagnetic brakes)
are accessible that can have temperatures of > 50 °C during oper-
ation.
To avoid burns, switch the system off prior to touching parts or
components and let it cool down for at least 5 minutes.
Danger of injuries on mechanical parts!
Non-compliance can lead to slight to medium injuries,
especially of the hands.
Parts such as flat plugs, threaded bolts, cut-off cable ties and
component edges that, if care is not taken, can cause crushing,
abrasion and cuts to the skin, particularly to the hands, can be
touched after the covers are opened.
Perform the required work with special care and attention to
detail.
If needed, wear working gloves.
