Safety
2.2 Precautions for health
The following are important precautions for the safety of personnel working
on the machine.
-
If you are injured by a fluid leak, seek medical attention immediately;
a high-pressure fluid jet can cause serious physical injury.
-
Avoid skin contact with any kind of fuel, lubricant, acid, solvent, etc.;
most of them contain substances that can be harmful to health. Wear
protective gloves and goggles before handling these materials.
-
If oil is swallowed, do not induce vomiting; seek immediate medical
attention.
-
Prolonged contact of the oils with the skin may cause irritation. It is
therefore advisable to wear rubber gloves and goggles. After handling
oils, it is advisable to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
-
If coolant comes into contact with the eyes, immediately flush the eyes
with cold water for at least 5 minutes and consult a doctor.
- If refrigerant comes into contact with the skin, use the same treatment
for freezing. Warm the affected area with your hand or warm water
(32° C), cover with a loose bandage to protect the affected area from
infection and consult your doctor immediately.
- Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Protect your eyes when working near
batteries to avoid possible splashing of the acid solution. If acid comes
into contact with skin, eyes or clothing, immediately flush with water for
a minimum of 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention.
- Keep all metal objects (watches, rings, chains, etc.) away from the
battery terminals as they may cause a short circuit resulting in burns.
