The user bears full responsibility for compliance with the operating

condi- tions of the electrical motor installed in the equipment.

Installation of protection devices is the responsibility of the user.

1.4 Safety precautions during operation.

The user is solely liable for injuries or damages which occur due to

non-compliance with safety guidelines during installation, opera- tion

or servicing, as well as unauthorised use of equipment!

1. Ensure that hoses correspond to the equipment in terms of nominal diameter and working

pressure. Check the attachment of every hose coupling before start-up. An insecurely fas-

tened hose may cause serious injury.

2. Never turn on equipment if you suspect the presence of highly  impurities in the air!

3. The operator remotely controlling equipment must ensure that no installation or other

work is being performed with the equipment at that moment! An information plate must

be af ed to the equipment in relation to this: ‘ATTENTION: this machine is being controlled

remotely and may start operating without warning!’

4. An operator is not allowed to operate equipment if the operator is fatigued, in a state of

intoxication from alcohol, drugs or medicine that reduces the body’s reaction time.

5. The equipment must not be operated if parts of the casing have been removed. Doors or

panels may be opened for short durations for inspection and scheduled checks. It is advis-

able to wear hearing protection.

In some types of equipment, open doors or removal of panels du- ring

operation may lead to overheating.
