CAUTION – risk of injury!
Remove all sources of danger which could lead to slipping, tripping or falling (e.g.
slippery surface, hoses, cables). Keep the work area clean and tidy.
WARNING – Explosion hazard!
Operate the machine only according to the intended use. The machine is
designed for the use in areas exposed to explosion hazards as well. The
generation of heat and –eventually• sparks is characteristic for cutting. Therefore
cool continuously.
Consider the following:
Valid local explosion protection directives.
Technical specification of the machine.
Markings on the machine.
Avoid the generation of sparks.
When operating the machine, do not push or beat against other material and
hold the machine firmly and safely by hand, respectively fix it in a clamping
device.
Do not slide the machine over the ground.
If heat generation exceeds the specified surface temperature, the machine has to
be stopped instantly. It may be re•started only after having eliminated the cause
for the fault.
The work area and the other close working areas should always be protected
from sparks.
Flammable and explosible material has to be removed from the work area before
starting work. Among others, this relates to dust deposits, cardboard, packing
material, textile, wood and wooden splints, but also flammable fluids and gas.
All dust deposits in and on the machine have to be removed regularly.
Consider that there must be no flammable dusts at the place where the machine
is operated.
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.
PROHIBITION – Eating, drinking and smoking are forbidden during
operation.
