2.8 General hazards / residual risks
Despite the safe design of the machine and the technical protective measures
taken, there still remain residual risks that cannot be avoided and which present
a non-obvious residual risk when operating the modules.
Observe the safety instructions in this chapter and in the other sections of this
manual to avoid damage to property and dangerous situations for the personnel.
2.8.1 General hazards at the workplace
The portal axis has been built according to the state-of-the-art and the applicable
health and safety requirements. However, improper use of the portal axis may
cause the following hazards to the personnel:
danger to life and limb of the operator or third parties,
on the portal axes themselves,
property damage.
Always keep the assembly instructions ready at hand at the workplace!
Please, also observe:
the general and local regulations on accident prevention and environmental
protection,
the safety information sheet for the portal axis.
WARNING
Danger - Do not use in unsuitable environment!
The portal axes are designed for use in
non
explosive atmospheres.
Do not
use the portal axis in potentially hazardous atmospheres!
WARNING
Risk of injuries due to uncontrolled parts movements!
When connecting and operating the portal axes, unexpected movements can
lead to serious injuries and/or damage to property.
Only qualified personnel may work with or on the portal axis.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to high noise exposure!
The noise level of the portal axis at full load operation is below 78 dB(A).
Depending on the add-ons, the environment and the resonance of the
protective device theses values may be exceeded and expose the operator
to a higher noise level.
The operating company is responsible for ensuring that the permissible
noise levels are observed.
