1.4 Safety precautions during operation
All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions,
or non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.
Precautions during operation
1. Never touch any piping or components of the machine during operation.
2. Use only the correct type and size of hose end fittings and connections. When blowing through a hose or
air line, ensure that the open end is held securely. A free end will whip and may cause injury. Make sure
that a hose is fully depressurized before disconnecting it.
3. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there
is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the remote
start equipment.
4. Never operate the machine when there is a possibility of taking in flammable or toxic fumes, vapors or
particles.
5. Never operate the machine below or in excess of its limit ratings.
6. Keep all bodywork doors shut during operation. The doors may be opened for short periods only, e.g. to
carry out routine checks. Wear ear protectors when opening a door.
7. People staying in environments or rooms where the sound pressure level reaches or exceeds 80 dB(A)
shall wear ear protectors.
8. Periodically check that:
•
All guards are in place and securely fastened
•
All hoses and/or pipes inside the machine are in good condition, secure and not rubbing
•
There are no leaks
•
All fasteners are tight
•
All electrical leads are secure and in good order
•
Safety valves and other pressure relief devices are not obstructed by dirt or paint
•
Air outlet valve and air net, i.e. pipes, couplings, manifolds, valves, hoses, etc. are in good
repair, free of wear or abuse
9. If warm cooling air from dryer is used in air heating systems, e.g. to warm up a workroom, take
precautions against air pollution and possible contamination of the breathing air.
10. Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound-damping material.
11. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulations fitted on the machine. Every
pressure vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above atmospheric pressure shall
be protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as required.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and
Safety precautions during maintenance.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the
application which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.
