work area Safety

fire Protection and health: SPecial Safety inforMation when handling rigid foaMS Made
froM exPanded PolyStyrene (ePS, Styrodur©, StyroPor®), extruded PolyStyrene foaM (xPS)
or SiMilar MaterialS, in relation to the riSk of exPloSionS and hazardouS vaPourS.
1. Please note that the storage, handling and attachment of rigid foams is subject to spe-
cial safety regulations. Read and observe all safety information and instructions from the
rigid foam manufacturer.
2. Please note that during the processing of rigid foams, and particularly when cutting
with heated wires or blades, flammable, potentially harmful or harmful vapours may es-
cape, such as pentane, styrene, etc. For this, please read the manufacturer's information,
observe the MAK values and follow the manufacturer's instruction which relate to this. In
addition, make sure that the work area is safe before every operation and cleaning proce-
dure by following these instructions:
2.1 Do not use any materials with a softening temperature of less than 100 °C (212 °F).
2.2 Do not use any materials with an ignition temperature of less than 300 °C (572 °F). .
2.3 Do not use any self-igniting or easily flammable materials in accordance with the
standard EN 13501-1 / DIN 4102-1.
2.4 Do not use any materials which may be explosive or oxidising.
2.5 The entire work environment must be free from any sources of ignition such as other
electrically-driven power tools that are switched on (spark formation), open flames, lit
cigarettes or similar.
2.6 Keep your work environment clean, dust-free and well-lit in order to prevent the risk
of fire and explosions, as well as damage to health, due to vapours.
Operation is not permitted when doors and windows are closed. Keep your work en-
vironment well-ventilated in order to prevent flammable and/or harmful vapours from
collecting.
Bear in mind that the flammable vapours are generally heavier than air and can accu-
mulate near to the ground. For this reason, make sure that any vapours which arise are
sufficiently suctioned away, and also ensure that the floor area of the room is well-venti-
lated.
2.7 Keep your work environment clean, dust-free, well-lit, well-ventilated, and free from
ignition sources (such as electric power tools that are switched-on - due to spark forma-
tion - open flames, lit cigarettes) in order to prevent the risk of fire, explosion or dama-
ge to health due to vapours or dust. Working in potentially explosive environments is
prohibited.

3. Inspect the power cable for damage before the start of each operation. Handle the po-
wer cable with care: Avoid tightly rolling-up/twisting the cable, always pull the cable from
the socket by holding the plug, keep it away from heat, oil and sharp edges, do not store
10
the cable in a tangled mess.
