Safety requirements
14 / 72
America
January 2017
Operate the compressor only if all protective and
safety devices, sound dampeners, ventilation and
exhaust devices, and cooling water supply (for
water-cooled compressors only) are present and
functional.
Check regularly that:
All hoses and pipelines are in good condition
and securely attached.
there are no leaks (oil, coolant, or cooling
water).
The electrical connection lines are in good
condition.
cooling water supply is provided (for water-
cooled compressors only).
Behavioral rules for using compressed air.
Do not use any method that involves
questionable safety.
Never play around with compressed air.
Never direct compressed air at the skin or at
other person.
Never use compressed air to clean clothing.
When using compressed air to clean
equipment, use great care and also wear safety
glasses as eye protection.
Safety measures
Operate the compressor only when the enclosure
is closed.
Check the compressor at least once per shift for
externally visible damage and defects. Report any
changes (including to the operating performance)
to the responsible location or person immediately.
Stop and secure the compressor immediately, if
needed. Have faults repaired immediately.
Do not switch off or remove the exhaust and
vacuum devices when the compressor is running.
Remote control
If there is a remote control, the compressor must
bear a clearly visible sign with the following
inscription: “Caution! The compressor is remotely
controlled and could start without warning.”
In addition, safety precautions must be taken to
ensure that no one is working on the compressor
when it is remotely controlled.
2.9
Special work
Organizational
The maintenance work and intervals are specified
in the operating manual, including information
about replacing parts/partial equipment.
Maintenance and repair work may be performed
only under supervision, or by a person qualified for
this work.
Secure an ample working area, if needed.
Workshop equipment suitable for the work is
absolutely required to perform maintenance and
repair work.
Safety measures
Personnel must not wear open, long hair, loose
clothing, or jewelry, including rings. When the
compressor is running, there is an injury hazard,
such as due to jamming or drawing in. If needed
or required by regulations, use personal protective
equipment!
Perform only those maintenance and repair works
for which you have sufficient training and where
you feel comfortably sure of your ability.
Do not use machine parts as climbing aids. For
maintenance work at greater heights, use fall
protection.
Maintenance/fault clearing
Perform any maintenance and repair work only
when the compressor is switched off and the
power grid supply is disconnected. Secure the
compressor against being turned on accidentally.
Before opening the compressor enclosure:
Allow the compressor to come to a stop.
Wait for automatic pressure relief.
Wait until the residual energy from the
capacitors has dissipated.
Cool the compressor down to room
temperature.
Cleanliness
Always pay attention to cleanliness during
maintenance and repair work. Keep dirt away by
covering parts and exposed openings with a clean
cloth, paper, or tape.
Oil loss causes the floor to be slippery. Clean
the work area thoroughly after completing the
maintenance and repair work.
Cleaning agents
Never use solvents or cleaning agentsthat can
corrode the materials to clean the parts.
Take preventive action against vapors of solvents
or cleaning agents that are hazardous to health.
