SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF VIBRATION HAZARDS
Vibrations can cause damage of nerves and blood vasculares in hands and arms, therefore
observe the following hints:
· Wear warm clothing and keep your hands warm and dry when working in cold conditions. Exercise
hands and fingers regularly.
· Do not hold the machine tool with the free hand
· Use stands and/or weight balancers, if possible.
· When using a support (e.g. stand) make sure the machine is securely fixed. If no support is
used, hold the machine with light but safe grip in order to support the tool's reaction torque. The
tighter the grip the greater the risk from vibrations.
· Mount the machine as described in the operating instruction booklet in order to avoid
unnecessary high vibrations.
· Stop work immediately, if you feel any numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of fingers or
hands. Inform the employer and consult a doctor.
Wear respiratory protection.
Use respiratory protection as instructed by your employer and as required by
occupational health and safety regulations.
Potentially generated or disturbed dust and fumes in the working environment or from
using the machine can cause ill health (e.g. cancer, birth defects, asthma and/ or
dermatitis).
· Carry out risk assessment regarding dust and fume hazards and implement appropriate
measures.
· Keep the working place clean.
· Keep in mind that working in certain materials may create dust and fumes causing a
potentially explosive atmosphere.
Remark: Some types of metal may have toxic coatings.
Please pay particular attention to avoid skin contact and breathing in, when working with
those materials. Ask your material supplier about special safety instructions and stick to them.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF PROJECTILE HAZARDS
Wear impact-resistant safety goggles – This refers to the operator, as well as for the
persons within the vicinity of the machine. Assess and determine the grade of protection
required depending on the individual case. The risks to others should also be assessed
at this time.
On overhead work, wear a safety helmet. If a work piece, accessories, inserted tools,
or the tool itself breaks, there is danger from high velocity projectiles.
· • Check all parts for damages before using the machine.
