2.14 Hazards caused by electricity
DANGER
Life hazard due to electric voltage.
Cables and components are live, there is a danger of injury with deadly conse-
quences. Clamping points are under voltage also after shut-off.
– All work on the electrical equipment of the machine must always be carried out by
qualified electricians.
– Check electrical equipment on a regular basis: refasten loose connections and
replace damaged lines and cables immediately.
There is an electrical hazard during work on the machine:
During direct contact with live parts or parts that have become energized due to
fault conditions.
By electrostatically charged parts.
During all work on live parts, lines or cables, a second person must be present,
who turns off the main switch in an emergency case.
Never clean electrical equipment with water or similar liquids.
Do not touch live parts inside and outside the machine.
Before beginning work on the machine, switch it off at the main switch, make sure
that no voltage is present and secure it from unintentional restart.
Before opening cabinets and devices, discharge all parts that collect electrical
charge, and make sure that all components are de-energized.

WARNUNG
Oil, fuel and grease can cause the following damages:
poisoning by inhalation of fuel vapours,
allergies due to skin contact with fuel, oil or grease,
fire and explosion hazard due to smoking or the use of fire or naked flame when
handling fuel, oil or grease.
Protective measures:
– When handling fuel or oil, smoking or use of open fire or naked flame is strictly for-
bidden. Oil and fuel may only be kept in suitable, approved containers.
– Do not expose fuel containers to direct sunlight.
– Always keep fuel containers in the shade.
– Great caution must be exercised when handling fuel. The relevant safety regula-

– Clothing soaked in fuel must be removed immediately and ventilated in a suitable
place.
– Rags soaked with fuel or oil must be kept in suitable, approved containers and dis-
posed of in an environmentally compatible manner.
– Always use a suitable funnel for filling fuel or oil.
