Instructions relating to your protection and the protection of those around you
•
If necessary, place the pipe on one or more pipe holders, also called benches. (Virax
part numbers: pipe holder without feet: 161100).
•
Do not wear a tie, scarf, pendants, loose clothing, chain bracelets, rings etc.
or wear your hair long... any of which could be caught by the rotating parts of the
machine.
•
Wear protective goggles to protect your eyes from oil spatter and, most importantly,
from any metal turnings which are thrown up. In the case of oil spatter, wash your
eyes copiously with water and consult an ophthalmic doctor if you experience any
problems with your vision. If a metal turning is thrown up, do not try to remove it or
have it removed by anyone else but consult a specialist service immediately.
It is essential to wear a helmet with ear defenders.
In compliance with standard EN 62841-2-9 (refer to the standard published in your
language), laboratory tests have given the following results:
Acoustic pressure at the user's ears: LpA = 88 dB(A)
Acoustic power level: LwA = 99 dB(A)
•
Be careful when handling items that may be sharp, in particular: thread dies,
internal edges of the pipe, ships...
•
Wear gloves for handling metal turnings: these can cause bad, fine and deep cuts.
•
Wear gloves for handling metal turnings if you are allergic to lubrication oil.

cut (at the level of the vice...)
•
Wait for the motor to stop before carrying out any work.

Disconnect the machine from the power source when carrying out assembling,
dismantling and cleaning operations in order to guard against the risk of the machine
