8.1 Ensuring safety
Follow the instructions below for safe operation.
Warning instructions are located before a potentially dangerous task.
Disregard of warning instructions can cause serious injuries!
Complying with safety warnings
Disregard of safety warnings can cause unforeseeable dangers!
➤ Follow the instructions in chapter 3 “Safety and Responsibility”.
➤ Make sure that no one is working on the machine.
➤ Ensure that all service doors and panels are closed and secured.
Preventing accidental contact
Intensely heated, rotating, or electrically-live components can cause severe injuries.
➤ Ensure that all doors, canopy and panels are closed.
➤ Do not carry out any checks or settings while the machine is running.
➤ Shut down the machine before opening any doors/canopy.
When working on live components
Touching voltage-carrying components can result in electric shocks, burns or death.
➤ Work on electrical equipment may only be carried out by authorized electricians.
Safe working with compressed air tools and hoses
Open pressurized compressed air hoses move erratically and can cause serious injury to people.
➤ Pressurize compressed air hoses only after the tool has been connected.
➤ Do not pressurize open compressed air hoses.
➤ Detach compressed air hoses only after the hose has been purged of compressed air.
➤ At working pressures >100 psig, compressed air hoses should be secured by a cable to their
respective outlet valves.
Condensate formation in compressed air hoses
Use the shortest possible compressed air hoses to minimize the temperature difference between
the machine's compressed air outlet and the air tool. The hose length represents a cooling section.
With increasing cooling, the compressed air gives off moisture capable of damaging the air tool.
➤ Use short compressed air hoses.
