· 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF HAZARDS CAUSED BY COMPRESSED AIR
WARNING – Compressed 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.
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 valve while doing so. Never remove a pressurized pneumatic hose. Always switch the power supply off
first and then depressurize the machine.
The maximum operating pressure (fow 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 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF OPERATING HAZARDS
Before starting work make sure that the hands are protected against:
impacts, crushing, hits, cuts, abrasions and heat. The operating and maintenance personnel must be physically
able to handle the bulk, the weight, the power and/or the torque of the machine.
Do not use the machine if you have taken any medication or drugs, after drinking alcohol or with any other
constraints on your vision, reaction time or judgment.
Work in the best possible position so that you can react with both hands to any normal or unexpected movements
of the machine. Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing in order to avoid improper strain and to be
able to support the reaction torque of the machine).
Additionally observe the following:
•
Operate the machine only after having carefully read the operation manual.
•
Use impact wrenches only in combination with appropriate power sockets.
•
Never use power sockets with worn out square drive. Prior to each application, check that the square drive
at the power socket and the square drive of the impact wrench is not worn out, or if there are any fissures (cracks).
Ensure that the power socket is properly seated on the square drive before each startup.
•
Before each startup, ensure that the reverse valve for rotation direction left and right is in the correct position.
Do not start the machine, unless the power socket is seated solidly and correctly on the screw head or on the nut.
