3.3. General safety instructions
Electric vibrators generate vibrations. The owner of vibration machines must
protect their employees against actual or possible risks to their health and safety
caused by the effect of vibrations.
Würges Vibrationsmotoren GmbH refuses to accept the responsibility for any
damage to property or personal injuries if technical changes have been made to
the product or the instructions and regulations in this instruction manual have
not been noted and followed.
Live parts can cause severe or fatal injuries.
Electric vibrators must be safely disconnected from the electricity mains before
any work is carried out on them. The required procedure is as follows:
1. Switch off vibrator motor
2. Secure against being switched back on again
3. Test for safe disconnection from the power supply
4. Allow the vibrator motor to cool
Do not touch the vibrator motors while they are running or soon after switching
them off. The surface temperature of the vibrator motors can reach such high
values during operation that there is a risk of burns.
Always use a torque wrench when tightening screws or bolts! Tightening
torques see page 10. Attention to maximum tightening torques on page 14.
Vibrator motors of the HVE/VFLE series may be deployed in the explosion hazar-
dous areas 1/2 and 21/22.
The permissible ambient temperature must be between -20 °C and +40 °C.
