2.4 Product safety
2.4.1 Fundamental safety information
Fundamental dangers
The following safety measures always include:
•
The machine should only be used in a technically perfect condition and in an
intended, safety and danger-aware method, taking into account the operating
instructions.
•
Faults that have a negative effect on safety must be immediately rectified.
•
In addition to the manual, follow and advise the generally applicable binding
regulations for accident prevention and for environmental protection.
Danger due to electric current
Work on electrical units or operating equipment may only be carried out by an
electrical technician or other trained persons working under the guidance and su-
pervision of an electrical technician and must be performed in accordance with
electrotechnical regulations.
•
Only use original fuses with the current stipulated. In the event of faults in the
electrical power supply, switch off the machine immediately.
•
Disconnect machine parts on which inspection, maintenance or repair work is
carried out. Once the components have been isolated from the supply, first
check that they are de-energised and then short-circuit them before also iso-
lating neighbouring energised components.
•
Check the electrical equipment of a machine on a regular basis. Defects such
as loose connections or scorched cables must be rectified immediately.
•
If work on live parts is required, enlist a second person who can activate the
emergency stop switch in an emergency. Cordon off the working area with a
red-and-white safety chain and a warning sign. Only use insulated tools.
•
All persons who handle electrical components and equipment that is fitted in
electrical components must be earthed.
•
Measuring instruments and devices must be earthed. Measuring tips on poten-
tial-free measuring instruments must be briefly earthed on suitable earthed
surfaces before being used to take measurements.
Danger due to pneumatics
Work on pneumatic devices must only be carried out by persons having special
skills and experience with pneumatics.
•
All lines, hoses and screwed fittings should be checked regularly for leaks and
externally detectable damage. Any damage must be rectified immediately.
Compressed air or gases coming out can cause injuries and fires.
•
Before commencing repair work, depressurise any sections of the system and
pressure lines that are going to be opened.
•
Lay and fit the pressure lines properly. Do not swap the connections over. The
fittings, length and quality of the pressure lines must comply with require-
ments.
