Safety
General safety instructions 4.7
Wide or loose clothing, protective gloves, jewelery and long hair can be
caught and pulled in by moving/rotating machine parts. This can result in
severe injuries.
• Keep loose or loose clothing and protective gloves away from mov-
ing/rotating machine parts.
• Remove jewelry before starting work.
• Tie up long hair or use a hair net.
Warning! Danger of falling due to unsafe position.
Working in an unstable position can lead to falls. Falls can cause serious
injuries.
• Always ensure a safe footing.
• Always have both feet on the ground.
Warning! Risk of injury to third parties
Bystanders can be seriously injured by incidents in the work area.
• Make sure there are no other people in the danger area.
Caution! Damage to health from exposure to vibration.
Prolonged use of this machine may result in long-term vibration-related
damage or impaired circulation in the fingers, hands or wrists. Signs of
this can be body parts falling asleep, tingling, hurting, stinging and discol-
oring.
In the case of personal predisposition to poor blood circulation, working
time can be reduced despite safety gloves and regular breaks from work.
• Take regular breaks from work.
• If these symptoms are detected, consult a doctor immediately.
• Observe national occupational safety requirements.

Personal protective equipment

its.
Working with the machine without hearing protection can lead to hearing
damage in the long-term.
• Always use hearing protection when working with the machine.
• When working with hearing protection, work particularly attentively
and carefully, because noises, e.g. screams or beeps, are only per-
ceived to a limited extent.
