Explosion and fire,
precautions
DANGER Explosion and fire
Explosions cause serious injury or death.
If the hydraulic attachment encounters explosives
in operation, it may cause an explosion.
►
Never operate the hydraulic attachment in the
direct vicinity of explosives.
►
Make sure that no explosives are hidden in the
ground.
►
Check gas line position plans of the complete
construction area.
DANGER Explosion and fire
Operating the hydraulic attachment may create
sparks which ignite highly flammable gases.
This may lead to fire or an explosion.
►
Never work in an environment with highly
flammable substances.
►
Make sure that there are no hidden sources of
gas in the work area.
►
Check gas line position plans of the complete
construction area.
DANGER Explosion and fire
Dust-rich air can form an explosive atmosphere
which may ignite when operating the hydraulic
attachment.
This may lead to fire or an explosion.
►
Never operate the hydraulic attachment in an
explosion-hazard atmosphere.
►
Always provide sufficient ventilation when
working in buildings or in a confined area.
Electrical shock, precautions
DANGER Electrical shock
Any contact of the hydraulic attachment with
electric circuits or other sources of electricity will
lead to an electric shock, resulting in serious injury
or death. The hydraulic attachment is not
electrically insulated.
►
Never work in the vicinity of electric circuits or
other sources of electricity.
►
Make sure that there are no hidden circuits in
the work area.
►
Check wiring diagrams.
Falling stones, precautions
DANGER Fragments flying around
Fragments of material which come loose while
operating the hydraulic attachment may be flung
away and can cause serious injury if people are hit
by them. Small objects falling from a great height
can also cause serious damage.
During hydraulic attachment operation the danger
zone is considerably greater than during the
excavation operation due to fragments of stone
and pieces of steel flying around, and for this
reason the danger zone must, depending on the
type of material to be worked on, be enlarged
correspondingly, or secured in a suitable manner
through corresponding measures.
►
Secure the danger zone.
►
Ensure that no persons are within a distance of
15 metres during cutting work.
►
Ensure that no persons are within a distance of
50 metres during cutting work on reinforced
steel.
►
Stop the hydraulic attachment immediately if
anyone enters the danger zone.
►
Close the windscreen and the side windows of
the driver's cab.
