Danger
Danger
● The operating range have to be covered for unauthorized persons, especially children
● The workplace have to be sufficiently illuminated.
● Take care handling wet, dirty and not solidified components.
● Take care in case of thunderstorm!
● The working with the vacuum lifting device in case of atmospheric editions under
37,5° F is forbidden!
Because the goods could be fall down caused by dampness or freezing.
● Since the load is held on the suction plates of the unit by a vacuum, it will fall off as soon as
this vacuum is lost.
● This can happen if the vacuum generator fails. An integrated vacuum reservoir maintains the
vacuum for a short safety period whose duration depends on the porosity of the work piece
surface.
● If the vacuum generator fails, lower the load immediately if this is possible. Otherwise, leave
the danger area below the load immediately.
● The unit draws in large amounts of air and hair and items of clothing can be drawn into the
air inlet. Do not look into the air inlet when the unit is running: it is even possible for your eyes
to be drawn into the air inlet.
4.6 Instructions for the Operator
● As an operator of the lifting device you must be trained before start-up. You must have read and
understood the operating instructions and especially the chapter "Safety".
● Be sure that only authorized persons use the device. You are responsible for others in the
operating range of the equipment.
4.7 Personal Protection Equipment
When operating the device always wear:
● safety shoes (with steel toe),
● tough gloves.
● Hearing protector
4.8 Behaviour in Emergencies
An emergency situation exists when:
● power suddenly fails (unit switches off) device switch off,
● the vacuum drops below -0,5 bar.
In such cases, lower the load immediately if this is possible. Otherwise, leave the danger area below
the load immediately. The load will be dropped from the lifting device!
