• If persons with circulatory problems are often exposed to excessive vibration, they may
experience injury to blood vessels or their nervous system. The vibrations may cause
the following symptoms appear on fingers, hands or wrists: numbness, itching, pain, tingling,
changes in skin colour or of the skin itself. If any of these symptoms occur, consult a doctor.
• When an electric shock is caused, it is necessary more than anywhere else to put emphasis
on safety and risk elimination for the rescuers. The affected person usually stays in contact
with electrical equipment (source of injury) because of muscle spasms caused by the electric
shock. Traumatic process continues in this case. It is therefore necessary to TURN THE
POWER OFF FIRST using any possible way. Subsequently CALL AN AMBULANCE or other
professional service, and then PROVIDE FIRST AID! Ensure free airways, check breathing,
check pulse, put the affected flat on their back, bend their head and stick out their lower
jaw. If necessary, begin with artificial respiration into the lungs and heart massage.
IN CASE OF FIRE:
• If the motor starts to burn or it the smoke appears from it, turn the product off, disconnect
power supply and move away to safety.
• To extinguish the fire, use suitable fire extinguisher (CO2, Dry Powder, halotron).
• DO NOT PANIC. Panic can cause even more damage.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even if the product is used according to instructions, it´s impossible to eliminate all
the risks associated with its operation. The following risks may occur arising from
device construction:
Mechanical risks caused, for example, by:
- shape,
- relative position,
- mass and stability (potential energy of parts),
- mass and velocity (kinetic energy of parts),
- inadequate strength,
- accumulation of potential energy:
- elastic parts (springs), or
- liquids or gases under pressure, or
- vacuum parts of the machine or workpiece
• Risk of crushing
• Risk of shearing
• Risk of cutting
• Risk of winding
• Ejection of part (of machinery and processed material/workpiece)
• Loss of stability (of machinery and machine part)
• Risk of slipping, tripping and falling near the machine (due to their mechanical nature)
Electrical risks caused, for example, by:
• Touch (direct or indirect)
• External impacts of electrical equipment
Thermal risks resulting in:
• burns and scalding due to possible contact of persons, flames or explosions and due to
radiation from heat sources
