Measures Of The Manufacturer; Danger Overview - OSTLING EMP/MODULMAT Operating Manual

1.4 Measures of the manufacturer

The marking equipment contains a transformer, which reduces the input voltage
(AC) to max. 24V output voltage alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).
With intended use of the equipment therefore no voltage dangerous for humans
is delivered by the equipment.
Due to the building method of the hand marking equipment it is possible to
affect live parts during the marking. Due to the low voltage of max. 24V this is
harmless.
Cardiac For persons with cardiac pacemaker also a voltage of max. 24V can become
pacemaker lethal, since the cardiac pacemaker is impaired in its function. For this reason
the work with the marking equipment is forbidden for persons with cardiac
pacemakers.
Danger of life for persons with cardiac pacemaker!
The electrolytes used depending upon marking type are oxidizing substances.
In the case of their use the instructions for use must be kept (see page 8).

1.5 Danger overview

The following danger overview points out the substantial potential endanger-
ments of lives and health by the equipment. By conceiving and design as well
as the safety devices of the equipment according to the EEC machine guideline
98/37/EG an endangerment of the personnel is excluded. If the user of the
equipment can seize additional measures for the reduction of possible
remainder dangers, this is to be taken from the danger overview.
