2.4 – Safety guidelines while using the AG20
AG20 needles can be handled safely if a few basic precautions are taken:
Always wear personal protective equipment, in particular gloves, safety goggles
•
and ear protection
For the short-needle AG20 models (AG20-20 and AG20-50, 20mm and 50mm
•
respectively), the needle should always remain in the resting pad of the
equipment when:
-
-
-
For the long-needle AG20 models (AG20-100 to AG20-1000) it is necessary to
•
install a special resting cradle, designed according to the customer's structure.
Manual use of the long needles is not recommended due to the danger of
moving a long piercing object. In these applications it is highly recommended
that the needle be incorporated into an automated insertion system. See section
3.4 – Deep Measuring for details.
For storage, always keep the protective cap over the needle.
