2 5 Safe working methods
►
before each start of production, check the ePC 01 for visible damage and ensure that it is operated only
when in perfect condition.
►
Report deficiencies to the supervisor immediately.
–
Do not attempt to continue using the ePC 01 if defects have been identified.
►
Wear safety glasses and safety shoes during operation and maintenance. Wear a safety helmet when working
overhead.
►
The ePC 01 is designed for operation by a single operator: The closure cycle must never be initiated by
a second person.
►
Keep sufficient space around the product. Users must not be obstructed by third parties.
►
set up the workstation ergonomically for working with the ePC 01. In particular, this includes the following:
–
ensure lighting intensity of at least 400 lux.
–
enable safe and comfortable posture during operation.
–
set up and lay plant components, hoses and pipes in such a way that they cannot cause any tripping
or falling hazards during operation.
►
When working with the ePC 01, the hands, arms, shoulders and neck can be stressed. Pain and discomfort
can be the result.
–
Interrupt work with the ePC 01 at regular intervals.
–
stop work if symptoms of stress persist or recur. Have stress symptoms medically checked.
2 6 Safety devices
safety devices protect against hazards when handling the ePC 01.
►
Do not modify the safety devices.
►
ensure that all safety devices are effective during operation.
2 6 1 Pressure relief valve
one or more pressure relief valves are installed in the service unit, to protect against excessive pressure. The
valves are arranged in such a way that they limit the pressure in all relevant system parts and equipment. alterna-
tive devices, such as pressure regulators, may be used provided they meet the requirement of the application.
2 6 2 Safety shut-off valve
a safety shut-off valve is installed in the compressed air supply line in the area of the compressed air filter. In the
event of excessive pressure, the safety shut-off valve closes and shuts off the compressed air supply line to the
downstream plant components and equipment.
2 6 3 Safety lever
There is a safety lever on the Trigger Unit of the pincer. The safety lever is pressed and held down during the
crimping process. The safety lever actuates the integrated 3/2 safety valve. The safety valve is designed to close
independently under pressure and to vent safely.
actuating the safety lever prevents unintentional closure.
