General safety instructions and
considerations
Personal safety
Owners, operators, maintenance, and service
personnel must make constant day-to-day safety
procedures a vital part of their job. Accident pre-
vention must be one of the principal objectives of
their job, regardless of the activity involved.
Know and respect the compressor/unit. Read and
carry out the prescribed safety and checking pro-
cedures.
Make sure that everyone working for, with or near
you fully understands and - most importantly -
complies with the following safety precautions and
procedures when operating the compressor/unit.
Observe the safety warnings on the compres-
sor/unit.
Use safety equipment. Wear appropriate gloves
as well as eye and face protection when working
with parts containing refrigerant and/or lubricating
oil. Safety shoes with slip-proof soles can help
avoid injuries. Keep safety equipment in good
condition.
Never operate or service this equipment under the
influence of alcohol, drugs or other substances or
if in a condition which decreases alertness or im-
pairs judgment.
Work area safety
Always keep your work area clean. Dirty work ar-
eas with such hazards as oil, debris or water on
the floor may cause someone to fall on the floor,
into the machine or onto other objects resulting in
serious personal injury.
Make sure your work area is free of hazardous ob-
structions and be aware of protruding machine
parts.
Always keep your work area tidy so that you can
escape in case of a dangerous situation.
Report any unsafe working conditions to your su-
pervisor or safety department.
Tool safety
Always make sure that hand tools are in proper
working condition.
Remove hand tools such as wrenches, measuring
equipment, hammers, etc. from the compres-
sor/unit immediately after use.
