2.6 Environmental protection
CAUTION!
Substances harmful to the environment!
When handling substances harmful to the environment, in particular in the event of
incorrect disposal, severe damage may arise for the environment.
Therefore:
–
Observe the below notes at all times.
– Take suitable measures immediately if substances harmful to the environment enter the
environment by mistake. In the event of doubt, inform the municipal authorities in charge
of the damage.
The following substances harmful to the environment are used:
 Batteries
Batteries contain poisonous heavy metals. They are subject to special waste treatment and
need to be disposed of at the municipal collection points or by a specialist company.
2.7 Operator liability
The device is used in industrial applications. The device operator is therefore subject to legal
obligations of occupational health and safety.
In addition to the safety instructions in these operating instructions, current regulations of
safety, accident prevention and environmental protection must be observed for the device
area of application. The following items especially apply:

The operator must ensure compliance with the current regulations of safety, accident
prevention and environmental protection that apply for the overall system in which the
device is integrated.
 The operator must keep himself/herself informed of the applicable occupational health
and safety regulations, and determine, over the course of a risk assessment, the
additional risks that arise from the specific working conditions when the device is being
used. The operator must include these items in the form of operating instructions for
the device.
 The operator must review, over the entire operational life of the device, whether the
operating instructions prepared by him or her correspond to the current status of the
bodies of regulations, and revise the instructions if necessary.
 The operator must definitively regulate and establish the responsibilities for device
assembly, connection, commissioning, operation and maintenance.
 The operator must ensure that all employees who work with the device have read and
understood these operating instructions. In addition, the operator must train these
personnel at regular intervals and inform them of the risks involved with the device.
 The operator of the overall system in which the device is integrated must provide
personnel with the required protective equipment.
In addition, the operator is responsible for ensuring the device is always in technically perfect
condition. The following items therefore apply:
 The operator must ensure that the installation and maintenance work described in
these operating instructions are performed properly.

The operator must have all safety installations checked regularly to ensure they
function correctly and are complete.
