2.11 Electrical shock, precautions
DANGER
Electrical shock
Any contact of the hydraulic attachment with electric cir-
cuits or other sources of electricity will lead to an electric
shock, resulting in serious injury or death. The hydraulic
attachment is not electrically insulated.
u
Never work in the vicinity of electric circuits or other
sources of electricity.
u
Make sure that there are no hidden circuits in the
work area.
u
Check wiring diagrams.
2.12 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 ob-
jects falling from a great height can also cause serious
damage.
During hydraulic attachment operation the danger zone
is considerably greater than during the excavation oper-
ation due to fragments of stone and pieces of steel flying
around, and for this reason the danger zone must, de-
pending on the type of material to be worked on, be en-
larged correspondingly, or secured in a suitable manner
through corresponding measures.
u
Secure the danger zone.
u
Stop the hydraulic attachment immediately if anyone
enters the danger zone.
u
Close the windscreen and the side windows of the
driver's cab.
2.13 Emissions, precautions
WARNING
Lung disease
Dust may be generated when operating the hydraulic at-
tachment. If dust from rocks or silica dust, produced
when operating the hydraulic attachment on rocks, con-
crete, 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.
u
Wear a suitable breathing mask.
2.14 Handling machines,
precautions
WARNING
Narcotics, alcohol and drugs
Narcotics, alcohol and medicinal drugs make their users
less alert and affect their ability to concentrate. Negli-
gence and incorrectly assessing a situation can result in
serious injury or death.
u
Never work on or with the hydraulic attachment when
under the influence of narcotics, alcohol or drugs
which affect your alertness.
u
Never allow other people who are under the influ-
ence of narcotics, alcohol or drugs which affect their
alertness to work on or with the hydraulic attach-
ment.
2.15 Changes to the hydraulic
attachment, precautions
WARNING
Changes to the hydraulic attachment
Changes to the hydraulic attachment or the adapter
plate may lead to serious injury.
u
Never carry out any changes to the hydraulic attach-
ment or the adapter plate.
u
Only use original parts or accessories approved by
Epiroc.
u
Modifications that entail new hazards may require a
new procedure for assessing conformity.
