Rub your hands with skin protection cream.
Wash your hands after contact with used oil.
Lead
• When working with lead or lead-containing compounds, avoid direct contact to the skin and do not
inhale lead vapors.
• Prevent the buildup of white powder of lead.
• Switch on fume extraction system.
• After coming into contact with lead or lead-containing materials, wash your hands!
Compressed air
When working with compressed air, safety precautions must be constantly observed:
• Pay special attention to the pressure level in the compressed air network and pressure vessel.
• Assemblies or plants to be connected must either be designed for this pressure, or, if the permitted
pressure for the connecting elements is lower than the pressure required, a pressure reducing valve
and safety valve (set to permitted pressure) must form an intermediate connection.
• Hose couplings and connections must be securely attached.
• Always wear protective goggles when blowing off tools or extracting chips.
• Provide the mouthpiece of the air nozzle with a protective disk (e.g. made of rubber).
• First shut off compressed air lines before compressed air equipment is disconnected from the supply
line, or before equipment or tool is to be replaced.
• Unauthorized use of compressed air, e.g. forcing flammable liquids (danger class AI, AII and B) out of
containers, results in a risk of explosion!
• Forcing compressed air into thin-walled containers (e.g. containers made of tin, plastic and glass) for
drying purposes or to check for leaks, results in a risk of bursting!
• Carry out the leak check as specified.
Painting
• When carrying out painting work outside the spray stands provided with fume extraction systems,
ensure that the area is well ventilated. Make sure that neighboring work areas are not impaired.
• No naked flames!
• No smoking!
• Observe all fire-prevention regulations!
• Always wear a mask providing protection against paint and solvent vapors!
Liquid nitrogen
• Store liquid nitrogen only in small quantities and always in specified containers without fixed covers.
• Avoid body contact (eyes, hands).
• Wear protective clothing, protective gloves, closed shoes and protective goggles / safety mask!
• Make sure that working area is well ventilated.
• Take great care not to subject containers, fittings and tools to impact or shock.
Acids/alkaline solutions
• When working with acids and alkalis, wear protective goggles or face mask, gloves and protective
clothing.
• If acids or alkalis are spilled onto clothing, remove the affected clothing immediately!
• Rinse injured parts of the body thoroughly with clean water!
• Rinse eyes immediately with eyedrops or clean mains water!
