PROHIBITION – Eating, drinking and smoking are forbidden during operation.
WARNING – Explosion hazard!
Operate the machine according to the intended use only.
The machine is designed for the use in areas exposed to explosion hazards as well.
Observe the following:
Valid local explosion protection directives.
·
Technical specification of the machine.
·
Markings on the machine.
·
Avoid the generation of sparks.
·
When operating the machine, do not push or beat against other material and hold the
·
machine firmly and safely by hand.
Do not slide the machine over the ground.
·
If heat generation exceeds the specified surface temperature, the machine has to be
·
stopped instantly. It only may be re-started after having eliminated the cause for the fault.
The work area and the next working areas should always be protected from sparks.
·
Flammable and explosible material has to be removed from the work area before work is
·
started. Among others, this relates to dust deposits, cardboard, packing material, textile, wood
and wooden splints, but also flammable fluids and gas.
Ensure adequate lighting.
Be extra careful in unfamiliar surroundings. There is a risk of hidden hazards such as electric
lines or other supply lines. Make sure when operating the machine that no electrical cables,
gas pipes or similar could be damaged. Use suitable and personal protective equipment.
WARNING – Compressed air can cause severe injury. Before working on the tools (e.g.
installation, changing accessories or machine tools, prior to a long standstill, maintenance,
etc.) depressurize pneumatic equipment (close valve and depressurize pneumatic hose).
CAUTION – Risk of injury by whipping pneumatic hose.
Check pneumatic hoses, connection components and fittings regularly for any damages and
proper fixture.
When connecting / disconnecting the machine to / from the pneumatic supply, please pay careful attention
not to actuate the start lever while doing so. Never remove a pressurized pneumatic hose. Always switch
the power supply off first and then depressurize the machine by pressing the valve latch.
The maximum operating pressure (flow pressure) according to the technical specification must not
be exceeded. A pressure regulator has to be installed, which regulates the pressure before it reaches
the machine. Never direct a pneumatic hose at yourself or anyone else. Never clean your clothes with
compressed air. Direct cold air away from your hands. Do not pull or carry the machine by the pneumatic
hose. When using claw couplings make sure that they are fitted with a suitable lock mechanism (e. g. lock
pin) and a safety chain.
