2.4 General hazard warnings
2.4.1 Risks / sources of risk
The product cannot operate autonomously. It is therefore a component that is incorporated into an overall system,
which will generally comprise several components that interact with each other. The product is therefore not fitted with
its own protective devices. It is therefore the obligation of the operator to ensure that the appropriate safety equipment
is provided and that the staff are instructed properly:
Risk
Danger from moving components
Warning symbol
Possible consequences of the
incorrect action
Injuries
Measure to mitigate risk
Install safety/protection mechanisms, train staff
2.4.2 General accident prevention regulations
All the safety instructions given must be observed in order to ensure that it is possible to work safely with the product!
In addition to the instructions given in these Operating Instructions, the local accident prevention and environmental
regulations and any national occupational safety laws apply.
2.4.3 Power down systems before working on them
All work must be carried out with the system powered down as laid down in the safety regulations.
A qualified electrician or person who has received appropriate instruction must determine that all poles of the equipment
at the workplace are dead.
Observe the following:
_
Observe in-house instructions, for instance those in which specific, dedicated testing equipment or systems
must be used.
_
Check the voltage tester immediately before use and, wherever possible, after use.
If it is not possible to clearly determine that cables at the workplace are disconnected, other reliable safety measures
must be taken, e.g. suitable cable cutting or cable puncture devices.
The 5 safety rules before starting work:
_
Power down machines
_
Prevent machines from being powered up again
