SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF WORKPLACE HAZARDS
WARNING
– The following applies unless otherwise stated in the machine’s operating
instructions booklet: The machine is not insulated to protect against an electrical power surge.
CAUTION
– risk of injury!
Hands may be crushed, seized or otherwise injured.
Keep your hands away from areas which are marked with this symbol.
CAUTION
– risk of injury!
Remove all sources of danger which could lead to slipping, tripping or falling (e.g. slippery
surface, hoses, cables).
Keep the work area clean and dry.
PROHIBITION
– Eating, drinking and smoking are forbidden during
operation.
WARNING
– Explosion hazard!
Operate the machine according to the intended use only.
The machine is designed for the use in areas exposed to explosion hazards as well.
The generation of heat and –eventually- sparks at the drilling point is characteristic for drilling.
The drilling point has to be rinsed, respectively cooled, continuously with water, where high
temperatures or eventually flying sparks are to expected. Observe the following:
• Valid local explosion protection directives.
• Technical specification of the machine.
• Markings on the machine.
• Avoid the generation of sparks.
• When operating the machine, do not push or beat against other material and hold the
machine firmly and safely by hand.
• Do not slide the machine over the ground.
• If heat generation exceeds the specified surface temperature, the machine has to be stopped
instantly. It only may be re-started after having eliminated the cause for the fault.
• The work area and the next working areas should always be protected from sparks.
