2.2.1 Hygiene principles
When operating and storing the machines, the user is
obliged to observe general principles of health and envi-
ronmental protection, and laws and regulations relating
to the given points at issue within the territory where the
machine is used.
• Petroleum products, cooling system uids, battery uids
and coating compounds including thinners are substances
harmful to health. Workers coming into contact with the
above products during operation or maintenance of the
machine are obliged to follow general principles of their
own health protection and comply with safety and hygienic
manuals made by manufacturers of the products.
In particular we draw your attention to the following:
- protect your eyes and skin while working with the bat-
teries
- protect your skin while handling petroleum products,
coating compounds and coolants
- wash your hands properly after nishing the work and
before eating, treat your hands with asuitable repara-
tion cream
- when handling cooling systems, follow instructions giv-
en in the manuals supplied with the machine.
• Always store petroleum products, cooling system uids, bat-
tery cartridges and coating compounds including organic
thinners, and also cleaners and preserving agents in original
and properly labelled containers. These materials are not al-
lowed to be stored in unlabelled bottles or in any other con-
tainers considering the possible risk of confusion. Possible
confusion with foodstus or beverages is very dangerous.
• If by accident the skin, eyes or mucous membrane is stained
or if you breathe in the vapours of such products, apply im-
mediately the principles of the rst aid. In case of accidental
ingestion of these products, immediately seek medical help.
• When working with a machine that is not provided with
acab or when the cab windows are open, always use ear
protectors of suitable type and version.
