2.4 Special dangers / residual risks
2.4.1 Danger due to electrical current
There is a risk of death when making contact with lines or components that carry
current.
– Do not use the machine if electrical lines, plugs or the insulating housing are
damaged. Perform checks according to the intervals for recurring tests/
inspections specified in the operating instructions.
– Work on electrical equipment must only be carried out by qualified electricians
or personnel under the guidance and supervision of a qualified electrician in
accordance with electrical engineering regulations.
– Defects identified on the electrical components/equipment must be corrected
immediately. If there is an acute danger up until that point, the machine,
component or equipment must not be used in a defective condition.
– Machine parts on which inspection, maintenance and repair work are performed
— if required — must be de-energised. First check that parts that have been
disconnected from the power are free of voltage, then earth and short circuit
them and isolate adjacent live parts.
– If work is required on live parts, involve a second person who can disconnect the
main power switch in case of an emergency. Block off the work area with a red
and white security chain and a warning sign. Only use insulated tools.
2.4.2 Danger due to hot surfaces
Hot surfaces can cause serious injuries.
The machine reaches high temperatures during operation.
– Take safety precautions against fires, burns and overheating.
– Wear personal protective equipment.
– Do not touch the machine and, in particular, the sealing bar.
– After stopping operation, let the machine sufficiently cool down.
