WARNING
Risk of injury on mechanical parts!
If these guidelines are not followed, minor to moderate injury,
especially to the hands, can occur.
¹ The C-arm of the system is manufactured from a car-
bon fiber composite material (CFK). In case of damage
of the carbon fiber structure, for example caused by
collision or by cutting or scraping tools, individual car-
bon fibers or carbon fiber bundles can stand out and
on contact cause injuries to the skin or penetrate into
the tissue of the hand.
¹ Before starting work on the C-arm, make sure that the
carbon fiber structures are undamaged (visual inspec-
tion).
¹ If smaller superficial damage is detectable in the
painted area or in the area of the running surface edges
of the C-arm, wear work gloves and remove any pro-
jecting carbon fibers. Then carefully rub the damaged
places flat with a fine emery cloth and seal the dam-
aged surface with paint. A spray paint the color of the
C-arm can be used for this purpose (see Service Tool
Catalog). Remove any carbon fibers lying in the C-arm
profile with a damp sponge or cloth.
¹ If greater damage to the carbon fiber structure indicat-
ing persistent or large-scale destruction of the carbon
fiber structure (e.g. crack formation or flaked off places
in the running surfaces with torn carbon fibers) can be
detected, replace the C-arm.
CAUTION
Electrostatic voltage!
Noncompliance can lead to property damage.
¹ ESD protection guidelines must be followed when per-
forming service.
CAUTION
Risk of being burned by hot parts or components!
Noncompliance can lead to minor or moderate burns, espe-
cially on the hands.
¹ Removing the covers exposes parts or components
(e.g. power components, heat sinks, solenoid brakes)
which may develop temperatures of 50° Celsius when
in operation. To prevent burns, switch the system
power supply off before contacting any parts or com-
ponents and let the system cool off for at least 5 min-
utes before resuming work.
