INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFETY-CONSCIOUS WORK
4.8 Handling of operating fluids and auxiliary materials
For all work in connection with operating fluids and similar materials, the information
in the data sheets of the respective manufacturers and the information in the docu-
ment “Notes on Operating Materials” must be observed.
The required amount of the operating fluids to be filled can be obtained from the
relevant fluid diagrams.
The following always applies to handling of operating fluids and additives:
• Leaked or spilled liquids must be removed immediately to prevent people from
slipping, stumbling, or falling.
• Filling aids (e.g., funnels) must be used for adding fluids.
• Skin contact with lubricants and cooling lubricants must be avoided.
• The manufacturers’ material safety data sheets and instructions for use must be
observed.
• Personal safety equipment must be used.
• Operating fluids and additives must be disposed of in a safe and environmentally
friendly way.
• The specifications in the user documentation for operating fluids and auxiliary
materials must be observed.
Machining may cause emissions (dust gases, or cooling lubricant vapors) that re-
quire an exhaust system.
An exhaust system is optionally available and can be obtained—together with the
machine—from INDEX. The defined interface to the exhaust system is to be used.
Follow the supplier documentation and the drawing provided.
