Behavior and immediate measures in case of accidents
WARNING
Danger caused by magnetic field.
Severe or fatal injuries.
•
The magnetic forces are always present regardless of the operating status of the
system.
Place at least two pointed wedges made of firm, non-magnetic material, such as brass
or stainless steel (edge angle approx. 10° – 15°) and a hammer ready to free trapped
body parts. If necessary, e.g. if mounting space is limited, customized installation ap-
pliances should be used to facilitate and safeguard work.
•
If the machine is connected to the power supply system, press the emergency off
button immediately.
•
Request first aid immediately.
•
You need the tools mentioned previously to free body parts jammed in between
two secondaries or a secondary and a ferromagnetic component (e.g. steel plate,
steel carrier, machine bed, tool). Separate the components at the separation gap
using the pointed wedge.
