Preparation

This section contains important instructions
on the required preparation before begin-
ning any work.
Additional safety measures for
certain work
Additional safety precautions must be
taken for the following operations with the
machine:
Non-horizontal work position
WARNING
Risk of injury from a falling machine.
When working in inclined or vertical
position and during overhead work, the
machine must be secured to prevent it
from falling using the safety chain (A)
supplied.
► Check the safety chain for proper
function before every use. A dam-
aged safety chain must not be used.
Replace a damaged safety chain
immediately.
► Attach the safety chain in such a way
that the machine moves away from
the operator in the event of slipping.
► Lay the safety chain as tightly as
possible around the handle of the
machine.
► Check the secure fitting of the safety
chain and lock before starting work.
► Use the protective equipment stipulat-
ed in the section "Personal protec-
tive equipment".
AutoMAB 350, 450
Work on scaffolding
WARNING
Risk of falling from sudden oscillating
movements of the machine.
When working on scaffolding, the
machine can make a sudden oscillating
movement on starting or in the event of
interruption to the power supply.
► Secure the machine with the safety
chain (A) supplied.
► Wear a safety harness to protect
yourself against falling.
Check the condition
of the substrate
The magnetic holding force is dependent
on the condition of the substrate. The
clamping force is significantly reduced by
paint, zinc and scale coatings and rust.
The substrate must satisfy the following
conditions in order to achieve sufficient
magnetic holding force:
■ The substrate must be magnetic.
■ The clamping surface and the magnetic
foot (1) must be clean and grease-free.
■ The clamping surface must be com-
pletely smooth and level.
NOTE
► Clean the substrate and the magnetic
foot (1) of the machine before use.
► Remove any unevenness and loose
rust from the substrate.
