SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF NOISE HAZARDS
Always wear hearing protection (EN 352) – This refers to the operator, as well as to any other person
within the vicinity of the machine. Observe the instructions of the employer and of the professional
association.
High noise levels during operation can cause permanent hearing problems such as tinnitus (ringing,
buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears), hardness of hearing or even deafness.
• Before starting work, ensure that the provided, respectively the factory-made, sound absorbers are mounted
and in proper condition.
• If possible, use sound absorbing material, in order to avoid ringing noise at the work pieces.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF VIBRATION HAZARDS
Vibrations can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms.
• Wear warm clothing and keep your hands warm and dry when working in cold conditions. Exercise hands and
fingers regularly.
• 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF DUST AND FUME HAZARDS
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.
• Before using the machine check all parts for damages.
• Replace damaged parts immediately.
• When working on brittle material make sure that you are protected against harmful splinters.
