Possible sources of danger and
protective measures
6.1
Possible sources of danger
Improper handling of the device and its
components.
The handle rests on the workpiece or work sur-
face so that the carbon fibre brush is in contact
with the metal surface. In this case, current
continues to flow.
If the components are connected incorrect-
ly, vagrant currents can lead to the destruc-
tion of electrical protective conductors.
–
Defective live cables.
–
Damaged or defective switching elements.
–
Defective plug connections.
–
Non-existent or damaged PTFE insulation.
–
Wrong working environment.
Non-use of protective clothing.
Safety goggles
Apron or overall
Protective gloves
The temperature of the carbon fibre brush or
the electrode and the workpiece can reach ap-
prox. 200°C.
Risk of burns!
Improper handling of chemicals.
–
Electrolyte splashes can burn the eyes.
–
Electrolyte splashes can burn the skin.
–
Splashed electrolyte liquid can cause chem-
ical burns on stone floors or other materials.
Electromagnetic fields can affect pacemakers
under certain circumstances.
