WARNING Skin infections/diseases due to
oil and grease
Hydraulic oil and grease can cause rashes (or even
eczema) if they come into contact with the skin.
►
Avoid all skin contact with hydraulic oil and grease.
►
Use a suitable skin protection product.
►
Always wear safety gloves when working with
hydraulic oil or grease.
►
Immediately clean any skin that has been
contaminated by oil or grease with water and soap.
Explosion and fire, precautions
DANGER Explosion and fire
Explosions cause serious injury or death.
If the hydraulic compactor damages an underground
gas pipe, this may lead to an explosion.
►
Never operate the hydraulic compactor in the
direct vicinity of gas pipes.
►
Check gas line position plans of the complete
construction area.
DANGER Explosion and fire
Operating the hydraulic compactor may create sparks
which ignite highly flammable gases. This may lead
to fire or an explosion.
►
Never work in an environment with highly
flammable substances.
►
Make sure that there are no hidden sources of gas
in the work area.
►
Check gas line position plans of the complete
construction area.
Electric shock, precautions
DANGER Electrical shock
Any contact of the hydraulic attachment with electric
circuits or other sources of electricity will lead to an
electric shock, resulting in serious injury or death.
The hydraulic attachment is not electrically insulated.
►
Never work in the vicinity of electric circuits or
other sources of electricity.
►
Make sure that there are no hidden circuits in the
work area.
►
Check wiring diagrams.
Falling stones, precautions
WARNING Fragments flying around
Fragments of material which come loose while
operating the hydraulic attachment may be flung
away and can cause serious injury if people are hit
by them. Small objects falling from a great height
can also cause serious damage.
During hydraulic attachment operation the danger
zone is considerably greater than during the
excavation operation due to fragments of stone and
pieces of steel flying around, and for this reason the
danger zone must, depending on the type of material
to be worked on, be enlarged correspondingly, or
secured in a suitable manner through corresponding
measures.
►
Secure the danger zone.
►
Stop the hydraulic attachment immediately if
anyone enters the danger zone.
►
Close the windscreen and the side windows of the
driver's cab.
Emissions, precautions
WARNING Lung disease
Dust may be generated when operating the hydraulic
attachment. If dust from rocks or silica dust, produced
when operating the hydraulic attachment on rocks,
concrete, asphalt or other such materials, is inhaled
this may lead to silicosis (dust lungs, a severe lung
disease). Silicosis is a chronic disease which may
lead cancer and death.
►
Wear a suitable breathing mask.
Handling machines,
precautions
WARNING Narcotics, alcohol and drugs
Narcotics, alcohol and medicinal drugs make their
users less alert and affect their ability to concentrate.
Negligence and incorrectly assessing a situation can
result in serious injury or death.
►
Never work on or with the hydraulic attachment
when under the influence of narcotics, alcohol or
drugs which affect your alertness.
►
Never allow other people who are under the
influence of narcotics, alcohol or drugs which affect
their alertness to work on or with the hydraulic
attachment.
