Work on the electrical system or equipment may only be carried out by a skilled electrician himself or
by specially instructed personnel under the control and supervision of such electrician and in
accordance with the applicable engineering rules. If provided for in the regulations, the power supply
to parts of machines and plants, on which inspection, maintenance and repair work is to be carried out
must be cut off. Before starting work, check the de-energized parts for the presence of power and
ground or short-circuit them in addition to insulating adjacent live parts and elements.
The electrical equipment of machines is to be inspected and checked at regular intervals. Defects
such as loose connections or scorched cables must be rectified immediately.
Necessary work on live parts and elements must be carried out only in the presence of a second
person who can cut off the power supply in case of danger by actuating the emergency shut-off or
main power switch. Secure the working area with a red-and white safety chain and a warning sign.
Use insulated tools only.
If mobile electrical equipment, connecting cables and/ or extension/ appliance cords with plug
connectors are used, ensure that such equipment, cables and cords are checked for correct function
at least once every six months by a qualified electrician or - if suitable testing equipment is available -
by a properly instructed person.
Protective installations with fault-current protection units used in non-stationary equipment must be
checked for correct operation at least once a month by a properly instructed person.
Fault-current and fault-voltage protection units must be checked for correct operation by actuating the
testing facility:
once on every working day in the case of mobile equipment,
at least once every six months in the case of stationary equipment.
2.7 Gas, dust, steam, smoke
Operate internal combustion engines only on adequately ventilated premises. Before starting the
machine on enclosed premises, make sure that there is sufficient ventilation! Danger of life!

Avoid prolonged contact of operating materials and lubricants with the skin! The skin must be carefully
cleaned of adhering operating materials and lubricants!
Exercise caution when handling hot operating materials and lubricants, as there is a danger of burns
or scalding. Particularly at liquid temperatures above 60°C, avoid any skin contact with these liquids!
If operating materials or lubricants get into the eyes, flush thoroughly with drinking water. Then visit a
doctor! Immediately clean up any operating materials and lubricants which have leaked out. Use
absorbent material for this purpose!
