Danger in E le ctrical Syste ms

Electricity

DANGER!
Risk of death by electrocution!

Contact with live electrical parts present an

imminent danger to a person’s health. Damaged
insulation or components can cause fatal
electrocution if touched by a person.

Only qualified electricians are allowed to work
on the electrical systems.

In case of damage to the insulation, disconnect
the power supply immediately and arrange for
repairs.

- During all work on the electrical systems,

disconnect from the mains and verify that the
disconnected parts are free of voltage. These five
rules apply:

- Disconnect from main supply

- Secure against accidental reactivating.

- Check for current.

- Check earthing and short circuit.

- Shield or disconnect any neighbouring

machines.

- Do not bridge or disable fuses. When changing

fuses observe correct amperage

Protect live parts from moisture. Moisture can
lead to short circuiting.
