11.2
Remaining risk factors
Despite of correct and proper use and maintenance there remain some residual risk factors:
•
Hazard of injury or machine damage due to undetected machine defect
To minimize this risk, check the machine prior to every operation for loose screws and
connections. Check the motor noise, the collector tubes, chip drawer, dust collector bag and
impeller for eventual damage. Damaged parts have to be replaced immediately, no operation of
the machine in the meantime!
•
Hazard of electric shock
Undetected malfunctions in the power supply and/or the connected metal working machine might
result in electric shock when touching the machine. Ensure proper electric installation, and let it
check periodically by a trained electrician.
•
Danger due to unintended machine start-up
Eliminate this risk by disconnecting the machine before you perform any checks or activities on
the machine.
•
Hazard of inhaling toxic metal dust
Especially metal dust arising from chemically treated metal and/or lacquer/paint are harmful
when inhaled. Therefore let the dust settle for 10 minutes before you change the chip drawer or
filter bag, and wear a suitable breathing mask if required.
