Workplace safety depends on the attentiveness, care, and common sense of the personnel

● Manufacturer-specific and application-specific regulations
● Special agreements made with the operator
● Separate safety instructions supplied with the machine

Danger as a result of stationary parts under voltage (live parts)
Live parts represent a hazard. Touch protection against active (live) parts is no longer
guaranteed if covers are removed. The minimum clearance and creepage distances may be
violated when coming close to live parts. Touching or coming close to them can result in death,
serious injury or material damage.
● Ensure that all live parts are suitably covered.
● Switch off and disconnect the machine first if you want to remove covers. Observe the "5
safety rules".
Risk of injury due to rotating parts
Rotating parts are dangerous. Touch protection against rotating parts is no longer guaranteed
if covers are removed. Touching rotating parts can result in death, serious injury or material
damage.
● Ensure that all rotating parts are reliably covered.
● Switch off and disconnect the machine first if you want to remove covers. Observe the "5
safety rules".
● Only remove covers when the rotating parts have come to a complete standstill.

contact with these parts.
● Never touch machine parts during operation.
