Safety
2. Safety
The product is intended to be incorporated into
machinery or to be assembled with other machinery
to constitute machinery covered by Directive
2006/42/EC, as amended.
It is not allowed to put the product into service until
the machinery into which it is to be incorporated or
of which it is to be a component has been found and
declared to be in conformity with the provision of
Directive 2006/42/ EC and with national
implementing legislation, i.e. as a whole, including the
machinery referred to in this declaration.
2.1 General safety
Warning!
Vacuum force
Warning!
Exhaust
Warning!
Unrestricted exhaust
The correct use of pneumatic equipment within a
system is the responsibility of the system designer or
the person who determines its technical
specifications.
The use of safety guards is recommended to
minimize the risk of injury to persons; pay close
attention to the fact that compressed air may lead to
explosion of closed containers, and vacuum may lead
to the implosion of closed containers.
In the event that, contrary to indications, dusts, oil
mists, fumes, etc. are suctioned, these will be mixed
with the discharge air of the vacuum generator and
expelled via the discharge conduit; use suitable,
approved air filters to avoid possible intoxications.
Ensure that the components are properly secured;
regularly check that connections are in good working
order, as high cycles or vibrations may cause them to
loosen.
2.2 Safe usage
The product described in this manual is designed for
implementation in industrial systems; therefore, it
must not be used with conditions other than those
specified herein.
Warning!
•
Do not install or operate your product if it
is damaged during transport, handling or
use. Damage may result in bursting and
cause injury or property damage.
•
Ensure no foreign matters enter the
exhaust port due to the risk of ejected
objects and damage of the product.
•
Do not restrict or block the exhaust, to
avoid product damage and application
failure.
•
Ensure that the vacuum and exhaust
ports are not simultaneously blocked
when the unit is generating vacuum. This
is to avoid ejected objects and damage of
the product, and application failure.
•
Vacuum and exhaust air can cause severe
injuries, keep hands, legs, hair and eyes
away from vacuum inlets and exhausts.
•
To avoid personal injury, equipment
damage and application failure, ensure
that the compressed air line is properly
secured.
•
In case of evacuation of hazardous
substances and/or gases, the exhaust
flow must be contained and properly
treated.
Wear eye protection
