10. Taking out of service / 11. Disposal
10. Taking out of service
When taking the machine out of service, it must be disconnected
from the compressed air supply to dissipate the residual or stored
energy.
Danger
Danger from electric shock!
Even after the machine is switched off, cables in
the control cabinets are still live
•
Power supply cables
•
Control cables to the power switch
•
Undervoltage supply
Work on electrical equipment must only be car-
ried out by authorised electricians!

Warning
Risk of injury!
The compressed air supply must be disconnected
by industrial mechanics or by persons of similar
qualification.
11. Disposal
Sort machine parts before disposal and dispose of them in an
environmentally friendly manner.
11.1 Protecting the environment
Caution
The obligations prescribed in law with regard to
avoiding waste and proper recycling / disposal
must be followed during all work on and with
the machines!
Particularly when carrying out installation, repair
and servicing work, substances hazardous to
water, such as
•
lubricating greases and oils
•
solvent based cleaning fluids
must not be allowed to pollute the ground or get
into the sewer system!
These substances must be kept, transported,
recharged and disposed of in suitable containers.

11.2 Scrapping
If the machine is ever taken out of service for good, the laws and
regulations on disposal in force at that time must be observed
and met.
The entire energy supply system must also be dismantled and
removed at the time of final shutdown and disposal.
To avoid danger to life from
electric shock:
Warning
Risk of injury!
The work involved in dismantling and removing
the electrical equipment must only be carried
out by trained electricians!
At the end of their useful life, machines must be disposed of by a
specialist company qualified to do so.
It makes sense to check which materials can be recycled and then
also do so.
11.3 Oil and oily wastes
Caution
Oil and oily wastes are a huge potential threat to
the environment. This is why they are disposed of
by specialist companies.
Channel these wastes into the company's inter-
nal disposal department which will then pass
them on to specialist companies.
