· 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.
· 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.
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 (EN 166) – 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 (EN 397). 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.
