any safety-threatening alterations to the machine or its operating behavior, stop the
machine immediately and notify your supervisor!

Do not attempt to modify the machine in any way which may impair its safety without first
consulting your machine dealer! This also applies to the installation of unchecked “safety
devices”!

movements.

16. Depressurize all conveying systems before opening conveying lines!
17. When unblocking hoses, stand away from the machine to avoid injury through high-
pressure discharges of mortar. Always wear safety goggles. No other persons should be
near the machine.
18. If the permanent noise level exceeds 85 dB(A), appropriate noise protection devices must
be provided.
19. If required, wear the following protective clothing while spraying: Safety goggles, safety
shoes, safety clothing, gloves, protective skin cream and respirator mask.
