6 Captive bolt stunner device
2.2 Improper use
2.4 Appropriate use and environment
2.3 Latest engineering practice
It is not permitted to carry out modications to the devices
and/or to the cartridges. It is forbidden to operate the captive
bolt stunner in potentially explosive atmospheres or ammable
atmospheres. Observe the information on operation, mainte-
nance and care provided in these operating instructions.
Never point the device towards yourself or other persons. Do not
press the device against your hand or other parts of the body. En-
sure that the device is not red when it is not pressed against an
appropriate target.
Ensure there is good lighting (observe workplace regulations).
The device may only be used when held in the hand. Ensure
that you have a secure footing and that you are well balanced.
Avoid unusual postures. Keep other people away from the
working area. Keep the sleeve dry, clean and free of oil and
grease. Clean the device regularly.
The captive bolt stunners have been constructed in accordance with the la-
test engineering practice. Any device can present a hazard if handled im-
properly or used for purposes other than its proper intended purpose.
If the operating instructions as well as the operational specications and
the accident prevention regulations are complied with, the device is opera-
tionally safe. Nevertheless, the device still poses some hazards that cannot
be eliminated constructively. These include:
» Risk of injury to ngers and hands
» Hearing damage due to noise in the event of noise emissions
greater than 75 dB(A)
» Risk of injury due to negligence regarding the use of personal protective
equipment during operation of the machine, during maintenance and
repair work and during cleaning and disinfection
Additionally, despite all precautionary measures taken, non-obvious resi-
dual risks remain. The residual risks can be minimized if you observe the
safety instructions as well as the operating instructions as a whole.
