Explosion hazard due to overheating of the machine caused by a layer of dust
Layers of dust thicker than 5mm can insulate the machine, resulting in overheating. The
maximum surface temperature of the machine cannot be adhered to. The dust can ignite,
resulting in an explosion. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Dust the machine regularly. Do not allow dust layers thicker than 5 mm to build up on the
machine surface. Do not switch the machine on until the dust has been removed.
Risk of explosion due to excessive bearing temperature
The surface temperature cannot be maintained within maximum permissible limits if the
bearing becomes too hot. The dust can ignite, resulting in an explosion. This can result in
death, serious injury or material damage.
● Always check the bearing temperature.
● In addition to the current-dependent overload protection device located in the three phases
Risk of explosion when cleaning with compressed air
If you clean the machine with compressed air, plastic components may become statically
charged and ignite a potentially explosive atmosphere; an explosion can occur. This can
result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Do not use compressed air to clean plastic parts in an explosive atmosphere. When cleaning
the machine, make sure that the air in the vicinity of the motor is free of gas and dust.

Inspections in the event of faults
Natural disasters or unusual operating conditions, such as overloading or short circuit, are
faults that overload the machine electrically or mechanically.
Immediately perform an inspection after such faults.
