DANGER
Ignition sources
Risk of explosion
►
When used in potentially explosive atmospheres:
Preclude possible ignition sources (e.g. hot surfaces, open flames, hot
gases or liquids, mechanically produced sparks, adiabatic compression,
shock waves, exothermic chemical reactions, thermal reactions, the
spontaneous combustion of dust, electric arcs or the discharge of static
electricity or propagating brush discharges).
Never allow the lifting device to be hit with force (spark discharge).
Never strike the hoist with objects or tools (spark discharge).
