9. When using remote control, the equipment must give a legible and clear warning of this:‘AT-
TENTION: this machine is being controlled remotely and may start operating without warning!’
An operator who is remotely controlling equipment must ensure that no installation or other
work is being performed with the equipment at that moment. Once the equip- ment is turned
off remotely, the operator must ensure that the equipment is actually turned off!
10. Equipment must be earthed. Provide short-circuit protection. The starting knife switch must
be in the immediate vicinity of the equipment and protect against unauthorised start-up.
The user bears full responsibility for compliance with the operat-
ing condi- tions of the electrical motor installed in the equipment.
Equipment must be used with protection devices. The protection devices
must protect the electric motor from short circuits, overloading (systematic
and start-up) and open-phase conditions. Installation of protection devices
is the responsibility of the user.
11. There must be an information plate affixed next to the control panel on equipment with an in -
dependent control system featuring an automatic restart function: ‘ATTENTION: This machine
may start operating without warning!’
12. Any tanks and vessels working under pressure must be fitted with safety-relief valves! Unau -
thorised installation, disassembly or adjustment of attached safety-relief valves is not allowed.

Safety precautions during operation.
The user is solely liable for injuries or damages which occur due to
non-compliance with safety guidelines during installation, opera-
tion or servicing, as well as unauthorised use of equipment!
1. Ensure that hoses correspond to the equipment in terms of nominal diameter and working
pressure. Check the attachment of every hose coupling before start-up. An insecurely fas-
tened hose may cause serious injury.
2. Never turn on equipment if you suspect the presence of highly flammable impurities in the air!
3. The operator remotely controlling equipment must ensure that no installation or other
work is being performed with the equipment at that moment! An information plate must
be affixed to the equipment in relation to this: ‘ATTENTION: this machine is being controlled
remotely and may start operating without warning!’
4. An operator is not allowed to operate equipment if the operator is fatigued, in a state of
intoxication from alcohol, drugs or medicine that reduces the body’s reaction time.
5. The equipment must not be operated if parts of the casing have been removed. Doors or
panels may be opened for short durations for inspection and scheduled checks. It is advis-
able to wear hearing protection.
