2.6 Safety whilst working on the electrics
In the event of malfunctions of the electrical installations on the
machine, immediately stop it by disconnecting the mains plug!
Work on the electrical equipment of the machine must only be carried
out by qualified electricians working in accordance to electrical
engineering regulations! Only professional electricians may access the
machine’s electrics and carry out work on it. Always keep the covers /
switch boxes closed as soon as they are left unattended.
Never work on live parts! Machine parts on which inspection,
maintenance or repair tasks are to be carried out must be
disconnected from the mains. Operating equipment that has been
disconnected must be secured against being switched back on
unintentionally or automatically (lock away fuses, block isolating
switches, etc.). The disconnected, electrical components must first be
tested to ensure they are voltage-free, then earthed, short-circuited and
isolated from neighbouring live components.
If it is necessary to carry out tasks on energized components (only in
exceptional situations), an additional person is required to activate the
EMERGENCY STOP button or disconnect the mains plug in an
emergency. Use only insulated tools!
During repairs, make sure that design features are not modified so
that they have a negative influence on safety. (e.g. creeping distances,
clearances and distances must not be made smaller by insulation).
Fault-free earthing of the electrical system must be ensured by a
protective earth system.
