4 Safety
4.1 Basic Safety Instructions
Lift tables can be dangerous if used improperly. Therefore, observe the safety instructions listed in this chapter
and the accident prevention regulations of your employer's liability insurance association!
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage and malfunctions resulting from failure to
observe these operating instructions.
4.2 Application Area and Intended Use
The hydraulically adjustable lift tables of the HS series conform to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and are
therefore suitable as technical equipment for both industrial and commercial applications as well as for training
purposes in educational institutions.
Improper use can lead to danger to persons and to a defect or damage to the lift table.
The lift table is primarily intended for operation in covered indoor areas, but it can also be used outdoors
for loading and unloading purposes (e.g. from the service vehicle to the place of use).
Work on the lift table may only be performed at sufficiently illuminated workplaces.
The lift table is intended for processing, equipping, assembling and transporting assemblies, workpieces and
similar components as well as for lifting, lowering and moving loads.
The lift table may only be used on horizontal floors for lifting loads.
The lift table may only be moved when the load is lowered.
The lift table must be positioned freely in the room when lifting and lowering. This means
that no shearing or crushing edges may be caused by the movement of the lift table.
The maximum load (see

5 “Technical Specifications”) with load center in the middle of the lift table must
not be exceeded. If the lift table is loaded unevenly, outside the load center of gravity, the load capacity is
reduced to up to 33 % of the maximum permitted load capacity (see

Figure 1).
The lift table is not intended for moving and transporting persons.
The lift table must not be operated in potentially explosive working areas.
Any other use is considered improper and prohibited.
4.3 Improper Use
Improper use is when the lift table is used for purposes other than those prescribed in this operating manual
and in section

4.2, for example
Use and application for private or non-commercial purposes,
Use in disregard of the regulations in the operating manual,
use after unauthorized conversions or modifications,
Exceeding the maximum permissible load (see

5 “Technical Specifications”)
Transporting or conveying persons with the lift table
Entering the lift table
In case of improper use of the lift table, any warranty, liability and other claims for damages of the operator
against the manufacturer are excluded!
