3.6

Warning of special dangers

Electric energy
Use only original fuses with the specified current rating.
Switch off the machine/unit immediately if trouble
occurs in the electric system.
Work on the electrical system or equipment may only
be carried out by a skilled electrician or by specially
instructed personnel under the control and supervision
of such an electrician and in line with the relevant
electrical engineering rules.
If regulations require, the power supply to parts of
machines and plants on which inspection, maintenance
and repair work is to be carried out must be cut off.
Before starting any work, check the deenergized parts
for the presence of power and ground or short-circuit
them in addition to insulating adjacent live parts and
elements.
The electrical equipment of the machines/units is to be
inspected and checked at regular intervals. Defects
such as loose connections or scorched cables must be
rectified immediately.
Necessary work on live parts and elements must be
carried out in the presence of a second person who can
cut off the power supply in case of danger by operating
the emergency shutdown or main power switch. Secure
the working area with a red-and-white safety chain and
a warning sign. Use insulated tools only.
Before starting work on high-voltage assemblies and
after having cut out the power supply, the feeder cable
must be grounded, and components, such as
capacitors, short-circuited with a grounding rod.
Gas, dust, steam and smoke
Carry out welding, flame-cutting and grinding work on
the machine/unit only if this has been expressly
authorized, as there may be a risk of explosion and fire.
Before carrying out welding, flame-cutting and grinding
operations, clean the machine/unit and its surroundings
from dust and other inflammable substances and make
sure that the premises are adequately ventilated (risk of
explosion)!
Adhere to the regulations valid for the place of
operation!
14
Observe any existing national regulations if work is to
be carried out in small rooms.
Always check a correct power supply to the compressor
before commissioning. The voltage supply has to fulfill
the requirements of EN60204-1/IEC60204-1 for such
kind of industrial equipment. Insufficient power quality
could have a strong effect on health & safety and may
constitute a risk to life and limb of the user or third
persons or cause damage to the machine or also the
environment around.
Hydraulics, pneumatics
Work on hydraulic equipment may only be carried out
by persons with special knowledge and experience of
hydraulics.
Check all lines, hoses and screwed connections
regularly for leaks and obvious damage. Repair
damage immediately. High pressure jets of oil may
cause injury and fire.
Depressurize all system sections and pressure pipes
(hydraulic system, compressed-air system) which are to
be removed in accordance with the specific instructions
for the assemblies concerned before carrying out any
repair work.
Hydraulic and compressed-air lines must be laid and
fitted properly. Ensure that no connections are
exchanged. The fittings, lengths and quality of the
hoses must comply with the technical requirements.
Noise
Sound-proofing elements on the machine/unit have to
be active during operation (i.e. sound-proofing panels
closed, etc.).
Where necessary, wear the personal hearing protection
prescribed.
Noise, even at a low level, can cause nervousness and
annoyance; over a longer period of time, our nervous
system can suffer serious damage. We therefore
recommend a separate machine room in order to keep
the noise of the machine away from the workshop.
In order to consider all noise-relevant parameters
•
and to adequately protect the health of the operator,
the European Regulation 2003/10/EC must be
satisfied completely by the user.
In states outside the European Community, the
•
respective noise protection directives must be taken
into consideration.
Take care that the noise transmission through walls and
frames does not result in too high a noise level in the
surrounding areas.
