1.7.5 Providing personal protective equipment
The operating company must ensure that the operators wear the re-
quired personal protective equipment (foot protection, head gear,
gloves, etc.) in accordance with the national directives which apply. In
Europe the directive 89/656/EEC specifies the minimum mandatory
requirements for the use of personal protective equipment.
1.7.6 Avoiding hazards
The operating company must check, whether there are special haz-
ards during operation, e.g. through hazardous fumes. The operating
company must undertake measures to avoid or limit the hazards.
1.7.7 Providing the installation location
The operating company is obliged to provide a suitable installation
location for the machine. The requirements for the installation location
can be obtained from the manufacturer.
1.7.8 Provide power supply
Connect the machine to the mains electricity at an always easily ac-
cessible place. In the case of an emergency the machine must be
capable of being disconnected immediately from the mains electricity.
The power supply must be equipped as follows:
• Overcurrent protective device according to IEC 60204-1: 2005.
• Mains power breaker according to IEC 60204-1: 2005.
Connection via residual
current protective
device
If the machine is to be operated via a residual current protective de-
vice, a residual current protective device which is sensitive to all types
of current should be used.
Info
In exceptional cases, the leakage current can be so high that an
isolating transformer needs to be installed between the power sup-
ply and the machine.
Connection to IT
network
The machine cannot be connected directly to an IT network.
The IT network must be converted to a TN-S network by an isolating
transformer. The machine is connected to the TN-S network.
