Residual Risks
The supporter is built according to the latest state of the art and the recognised safety rules. Nevertheless, the
use of the supporter may cause danger to life and limb of the user or third parties or damage to the supporter
and other equipment. Due to the construction of the supporter, the following residual risks can occur even when
used as intended and despite compliance with all relevant safety regulations:
Reading and applying the operating manual is mandatory for the operating personnel.
Be alert to possible crushing hazards:
a) when transporting the supporter by forklift truck: between forks & pallet / supporter
b) when picking up the supporter: between supporter / pallet and floor
c) when lowering the supporter: between supporter and fixed equipment
Be alert to possible crushing hazards when lowering the supporter (from the cargo pallet to the
floor) with a forklift truck or overhead crane.
Be aware of the danger from falling objects such as workpieces, tools or similar. Therefore, wear
safety shoes, especially when transporting and setting down the supporter.
It is strictly forbidden to "ride along" with the supporter during a lifting operation (by means of a
forklift truck or overhead crane). There is a high risk of falling!
It is strictly forbidden to enter or climb onto the supporter during a lifting operation (by means of a
forklift truck or overhead crane). There is a high risk of falling!
Increased risk of injury or even death. Entering the danger zone under a lifted load during transport
or installation by means of a forklift truck is prohibited!
Increased risk of injury or even death. It is forbidden to enter the forklift platform during transport
or installation!
Unauthorised persons are not allowed to enter the supporter installation area (responsibility of the
operator).
Danger of electric shock on models with battery-operated hydraulic height adjustment!
Work on the electrical components may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Be aware of possible tripping and slipping hazards on the floor. Prevent possible hazards by
keeping the floor dry and clean and by using anti-slip floor coverings around the supporter.
Acute danger of crushing underneath the table top! Never reach into the shears and never move
your body into this area! There is an increased risk of accidents with loss of limbs or even death.
When using additional machines on the supporter, first read the respective operating instructions
and comply with the specified safety regulations.
Be aware of the fire hazard during the processing of wood due to wood dust, in connection with
flying sparks and/or open fire!
Danger of electric shock on models with battery-operated hydraulic height adjustment!
Work on the electrical components may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
4.9
Observe the Environmental Protection Regulations
During all work with the supporter, the environmental protection regulations, obligations and laws for waste
avoidance and proper recycling and/or disposal applicable at the place of use must be observed. This applies in
particular to installation, repair and maintenance work involving substances that could pollute the groundwater
(e.g. hydraulic oils and cleaning agents and liquids containing solvents). In any case, prevent them from seeping
into the ground or entering the sewage system.
Store and transport the above-mentioned hazardous substances only in suitable containers.
Avoid leakage of hazardous substances by using suitable collection containers. Ensure that
the above-mentioned substances are disposed of by a qualified disposal company.
