8 Operation
8.1 Ensuring safety
Here you will find instructions for a safe operation of the machine.
Warning instructions are located before a potentially dangerous task.
Disregard of warning instructions can cause serious injuries!
Complying with safety notes
Disregard of safety notes can cause unforeseeable dangers!
➤ Follow the instructions in chapter 3 'Safety and Responsibility'.
➤ Make sure that no one is working on the machine.
Preventing accidental contact
Intensely heated, rotating or electrically live components can cause severe injuries.
➤ Ensure that all doors, canopy, and panels are closed,
➤ Do not carry out any checks or settings while the machine is running.
➤ Shut down the machine before opening any doors/canopy.
Safe working with compressed air tools and hoses
Open and pressurised compressed air hoses move erratically and can cause serious injury to peo‐
ple.
➤ Pressurise compressed air hoses only after the tool has been connected.
➤ Do not pressurise open compressed air hoses.
➤ Detach compressed air hoses only after the hose has been purged of compressed air.
➤ At working pressures >7 bar, compressed air hoses should be secured by a cable to their re‐
spective outlet valves.
Condensate formation in compressed air hoses
Use the shortest possible compressed air hoses to minimise the temperature difference between
the machine's compressed air outlet and the air tool. The hose length represents a cooling section.
With increasing cooling, the compressed air gives off moisture capable of damaging the air tool.
➤ Use short compressed air hoses.
Condensate formation in compressed air receivers
Compressed air stored in a containers will cool down. The compressed air precipitates moisture
that collects at the container's bottom. Corrosion may damage the container.
➤ Regularly drain the condensate.
