3. Safety
3.6
Dealing with pressure-retaining components
Pneumatic energy can lead to serious injury.
With damaged individual components, highly pressurised air can escape and cause eye
injuries, for example.
Pressure-retaining components (e.g. adapters, hoses and external containers) may
explode due to overpressure.
Observe the following safety instructions in order to avoid danger from pneumatic
energy:
Depressurise the instrument before starting any work on it. Be careful of the accumu-
■
lator, and ensure it is fully discharged.
Do not alter the pressure settings above the maximum permissible levels.
■
Make sure that all pressure-retaining components are designed for the quoted
■
nominal pressures (→ see chapter 12 "Specifications").
3.7
Residual risks
Despite compliance with all relevant safety regulations for the design and construction
of our instruments as well as intended use of them by the operator, residual risks may
occur during operation.
Residual risks are described in detail in the individual chapters. It is vital that you comply
with all safety instructions.
