· 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 – Hydraulic 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 hydraulic equipment.
CAUTION – Risk of injury by whipping hydraulic hose.
Check hydraulic hoses, connection components and fittings regularly for any
damages and proper fixture.
When connecting / disconnecting the machine to / from the hydraulic supply, please pay
careful attention not to actuate the valve while doing so. Never remove a pressurized hydraulic
hose. Always switch the power supply off first and then depressurize the machine.
The maximum operating pressure according to the technical specification must not be
exceeded. A pressure regulator should be installed, which regulates the pressure before it
reaches the machine. Never direct a hydraulic hose at yourself or anyone else. Do not carry or
pull the machine at the hydraulic hose.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF OPERATING HAZARDS
