SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF DUST AND FUME HAZARDS
Wear respiratory protection.
Use respiratory protection as instructed by your employer and as required by occupational
health and safety regulations.
Potentially generated or disturbed dust and fumes in the working environment or
from using the machine can cause ill health (e.g. cancer, birth defects, asthma and/ or
dermatitis).
· Carry out risk assessment regarding dust and fume hazards and implement appropriate
measures.
· Keep the working place clean.
· Keep in mind that working in certain materials may create dust and fumes causing a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
Remark: Some types of metal may have toxic coatings.
Please pay particular attention to avoid skin contact and breathing in, when working with those
materials. Ask your material supplier about special safety instructions and stick to them.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF PROJECTILE HAZARDS
Wear impact-resistant safety goggles (EN 166)
– This refers to the operator, as well as for
the persons within the vicinity of the machine. Assess and determine the grade of
protection required depending on the individual case. The risks to others should also be
assessed at this time.
On overhead work, wear a safety helmet (EN 397)
. If a work piece, accessories, inserted
tools, or the tool itself breaks, there is danger from high velocity projectiles.
· Before using the machine check all parts for damages.
· Replace damaged parts immediately.
· When working on brittle material make sure that you are protected against harmful splinters.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF ACCESSORY HAZARDS
Only use machine tools, accessories and consumables, which are recommended by the
manufacturer. Make sure choosing the correct size and the correct type. Only use accessories,
which are in proper condition and do not touch them during operation.
WARNING
– Injury due to carelessness
ATTENTION
– If the machine is fixed to suspension equipment make sure that it is secure. Never
hang the machine onto the supply line.
·
Separate the machine form any external energy source before changing the
machine tool or an accessory.
·
Avoid direct contact with the machine tool during and after use as it can be hot or
sharp. Wear protective gloves!
Defective/ inappropriate gloves can lead to injury. Only wear proper hand protection, adapted to
the work place requirements.
