Compressed Air - MTU 8 V 2000 M50A, M50B Operating Instructions Manual

Lead

• Switch on extraction system.
• When working with lead or lead-containing compounds, avoid direct contact to the skin and do not
inhale lead vapors.
• Wash hands after contact with lead or lead-containing substances.

Compressed air

Observe special safety precautions when working with compressed air:
• Unauthorized use of compressed air, e.g. forcing flammable liquids (danger class AI, AII and B) out of
containers, results in a risk of explosion.
• Wear goggles when blowing off components or blowing away chips.
• Forcing compressed air into thin-walled containers (e.g. containers made of tin, plastic and glass) for
drying purposes or to check for leaks, results in a risk of bursting.
• Pay special attention to the pressure level in the compressed air network or pressure vessel.
• Assemblies or products to be connected must either be designed for this pressure, or, if the permit-
ted pressure for the connecting elements is lower than the pressure required, a pressure reducing
valve and safety valve (set to permitted pressure) must form an intermediate connection.
• Hose couplings and connections must be securely attached.
• Provide the snout of the air nozzle with a protective disk (e.g. rubber disk).
• First shut off compressed air lines before compressed air equipment is disconnected from the supply
line, or before the equipment or tool is to be replaced.
• Carry out leak test in accordance with the specifications.
Paints and lacquers
• Observe the relevant safety data sheet for all materials.
• When carrying out painting work outside the spray stands provided with fume extraction systems,
ensure that the area is well ventilated. Make sure that neighboring work areas are not impaired.
• Avoid open flames in the vicinity.
• No smoking.
• Observe fire prevention regulations.
• Always wear a mask providing protection against paint and solvent vapors.
Liquid nitrogen
• Observe the relevant safety data sheet for all materials.
• Store liquid nitrogen only in small quantities and always in specified containers (without fixed cov-
ers).
• Avoid body contact (eyes, hands).
• Wear protective clothing, protective gloves, closed shoes and protective goggles.
• Make sure that working area is well ventilated.
• Avoid all knocks and jars to the containers, fixtures or workpieces.
Acids/alkaline solutions/urea solution (AdBlue, DEF)
• Observe the relevant safety data sheet for all materials.
• When working with acids and alkaline solutions, wear face mask, gloves and protective clothing.
• Do not inhale vapors.
• If urea solution was swallowed, rinse mouth and drink plenty of water.
• If the solutions was spilled onto clothing, remove the affected clothing immediately.
• In case of skin contact, rinse parts of the body thoroughly with clean water.
• Rinse eyes immediately with eyedrops or clean tap water. Seek medical attention as soon as possi-
ble.
