• For assembly work above body height, use appropriate
safety approved equipment, e.g. ladders and platforms.
Do not climb on machine parts. For maintenance work at
high levels, wear a safety harness.
• Clean oil, fuel or care products from the machine, in par
ticular the connections and screw joints, before carrying
out maintenance / repairwork. Do not use aggressive
cleaning fluid. Use a fibre-free cleaning cloth.
• Before cleaning the machine with water or jet of steam
(high pressure cleaner) or detergent, cover / seal all open
ings which for safety and/or operating reasons no water
/ steam / detergent may penetrate. Electric motor and
switch cabinets are particularly at risk.
• When cleaning the operating room, ensure that the tem
perature sensors of the fire alarm and sprinkler system do
not come into contact with hot cleaning fluid, in order to
avoid triggering the sprinkler system.
• Completely remove all covers / seals after cleaning.
• After cleaning, check all pressure lines for leaks, loose
connections, wear and damage. Immediately eliminate
any faults.
• Always retighten any screw connections loosened for
maintenance or repairwork.
• If it is necessary to remove safety devices for maintenance
and repairwork, these must be replaced and checked im
mediately after completion of the maintenance or repair
work.
• Ensure safe and environmentally friendly disposal of con
sumables and old parts.
2.3.5. Particular areas of danger
• Use only original fuses with specified current rating. If
there is a failure in the electric energy supply, shut the ma
chine / unit down immediately.
• Work on electric units or operating equipment may only
be carried out by a qualified electrician or by a person
under the instruction and supervision of a qualified elec
trician according to electric technical regulations.
• Machines and unit parts which must undergo inspection,
maintenance and repairwork, must be disconnected
from the mains supply, if specified. Parts which have been
disconnected must first be checked for voltage, then
earthed and short-circuited and isolated from live neigh
bouring parts.
• The electrical equipment of a machine / unit must be reg
ularly checked. Defects, such as loose screw connections
or burnt wires, must be rectified immediately.
• If work is to be carried out on live parts, work with a sec
ond person who can operate the emergency off switch or
the main switch in the case of an emergency. Close off the
work area with a red and white safety chain and a warn
ing sign. Only use voltage isolated tools.
• Only carry out welding, burning and grinding work on the
machine / unit when specifically approved. There can, for
example, be a risk of fire or explosion.
• Before carrying out welding, burning or grinding work,
clean the machine / unit and surrounding area from dust
and flammable material and ensure there is adequate
ventilation (danger of explosion!).
• When working in small rooms, observe any national re
gulations.
• Only personnel with particular knowledge and experi
ence with pneumatics may carry out work on pneumatic
equipment.
• Check all pressure lines, hoses and screw connections
regularly for leaks and visible damage. Immediately repair
any damage. Escaping air or gas under pressure can cause
injury and fire.
• Depressurize system and pressure lines before commenc
ing repairwork.
• Pressurized air lines must be laid and mounted by quali
fied personnel. Connections must not be mixed up. Fit
tings, length and quality of the piping must correspond to
requirements.
• Soundproofing equipment on the machine / unit must be
in place and functional during operation.
• The stipulated hearing protectors must be worn.
• With regard to oil, grease and other chemical substances,
observe the relevant safety regulations for the product.
• For loading, only use lifting device and equipment with
sufficient lifting power and strength.
• Appoint trained guide personnel for lifting operations.
• Machines may only be lifted with a lifting device and by
trained personnel according to instructions in the instruc
tion manual (fixing points for fixing equipment etc.).
• Use only suitable transporters with sufficient carrying
power.
Secure the load properly. Use suitable fixing points.
• If necessary, provide machine / unit with transportation
brackets. Display the appropriate notice. Remove trans
portation brackets in the correct manner before taking
into operation.
• Parts which need to be dismantled for transport purposes
must be carefully replaced and secured before taking into
operation.
• Even when moving the machine / unit only slightly, the
machine / unit must be disconnected from all external en
ergy sources. Before putting into use again, reconnect the
machine to the mains according to regulations.
• When taking back into operation, proceed according to
the instruction manual.
2.3.6. Notices of danger regarding pressure vessels
• Never open or loosen pressure vessel lids or pipe connec
tion parts under pressure; always depressurise the vessel
or the unit.
• Never exceed the permissible operating pressure of the
vessels!
• Never heat the vessels or any of their parts above the
stated, maximum operating pressure.
