4.3 Particular dangers associated with machines

Danger
Risk of electric shock.
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
parties.
Remote-controlled units may start
up unexpectedly.
Noise, even when it is not very loud,
can make us nervous and irritated,
and after a longer period of time our
nervous system can suffer serious
damage.
Safety measure required
Electrical connections must meet local regulations. Power units must be
connected to earth and protected from short-circuits by means of fuses.
Always check a correct power supply to the compressor before commissioning.
The voltage supply has to fulfill the requirements of NFPA70-NEC f o r this type of
industrial equipment.
If a remote control is used, the system must carry a clearly visible sign with the
following note: Attention! This installation is operated by remote control and can
start up without prior warning!
As an additional safety measure, persons who start remotely-controlled systems
have to take sufficient safety precautions in order to ensure that nobody is checking
the system or working on it. For this, a label with a corresponding warning notice
has to be attached to the remote control equipment.
We recommend a separate machine room in order to keep the noise of the
machine away from the workshop.
Where necessary, wear the personal hearing protection.
Shielding and doors must be closed during operation so that the efficiency of the
sound insulating is not reduced.
