SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
F156.6 / F156.6A
Carefully read personal and machine SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (at the beginning of this manual)
WARNING OF SPECIAL DANGERS
Electric energy
Use only original fuses with the specified current
rating. Switch off the machine immediately if trouble
occurs in the electrical system.
When working with the machine, maintain a safe dis-
tance from overhead electric lines. If work is to be
carried out close to overhead lines, the working
equipment must be kept well away from them. Cau-
tion, danger! Check out the prescribed safety dis-
tances.
If your machine comes into contact with a live wire:
- do not leave the machine;
- drive the machine out of the hazard zone;
- warn others against approaching and touching the
machine;
- have the live wire de-energized;
- do not leave the machine until the damaged line
has been safely de-energized.
The electrical equipment of machines is to be in-
spected and checked at regular intervals.
Defects such as loose connections or scorched ca-
bles must be rectified immediately.
Gas, dust, steam and smoke
Operate internal combustion engines and fueloper-
ated heating systems only on adequately ventilated
premises. Before starting the machine on enclosed
premises, make sure that there is sufficient ventila-
tion.
Observe the regulations in force at the respective
site.
Carry out welding, flame-cutting and grinding work
on the machine only if this has been expressly au-
thorized, as there may be a risk of explosion and fire.
Before carrying out welding, flame-cutting and
grinding operations, clean the machine and its sur-
roundings from dust and other inflammable sub-
stances and make sure that the premises are
adequately ventilated (risk of explosion).
Hydraulic and pneumatic equipment
Check all lines, hoses and screwed connections reg-
ularly for leaks and obvious damage. Repair damage
immediately. Splashed oil may cause injury and fire.
Depressurize all system sections and pressure pipes
(hydraulic system, compressed-air system) to be re-
moved in accordance with the specific instructions
for the unit concerned before carrying out any repair
work.
Hydraulic and compressed-air lines must be laid and
fitted properly. Ensure that no connections are inter-
changed. The fittings, lengths and quality of the
hoses must comply with the technical requirements.
Noise
During operation, all sound baffles of the machine
must be closed.
Always wear the prescribed ear protectors.
Oil, grease and other chemical substances
When handling oil, grease and other chemical sub-
stances, observe the product-related safety regula-
tions.
Be careful when handling hot consumables (risk of
burning or scalding).
