Possible dangers caused by the drilling machine

The drilling machine has undergone a safety inspection (analysis of danger with assessment of
risks). It has been designed and built on the basis of this analysis using the latest technological
advances.
Nevertheless, there is a residual risk as the drilling machine operates with

at high speeds,

rotating parts,

with electrical voltages and currents.
We have used construction resources and safety techniques to minimize the health risk for the
staff resulting from these hazards.
If the drilling machine is used and maintained by the staff who are not duly qualified, there may
be a risk resulting from incorrect or unsuitable maintenance of the drilling machine.
INFORMATION
All staff involved in assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance, must

be duly qualified,

strictly follow these operating instructions.
In the event of intended use



there may be a risk to the machine and other material values,

the correct function of the drilling machine may be affected.
