Danger from rotating parts

Danger from combustion en-
gines
Risk of clothing getting caught in and wound onto rotating
parts (grinding disk, socket etc.). Crushing injuries to fingers
and hands from rotating parts and abrasives.
►
Wear appropriate, close-fitting clothing that cannot be
caught by rotating machine parts of saw blades.
►
Remove rings and necklaces, etc.
►
Keep a safe distance from the grinding tool when the mo-
tor is running.
Danger of injuries, especially to the eyes, due to ground parts
and other ensnared objects flying off.
►
Always wear protective goggles or attach the splinter guard
when the machine is running.
Some parts may be live and may cause severe tofatal injuries
when getting in contact with them.
►
Work on the electrical system only by authorised electrical
engineers.
►
Rectify faults (contact faults, external damage to cables or
housings, etc.) straight away.
►
Before working on the electrical system: Shut off the power
supply to the system, switch off the drive and disconnect
the power supply.
►
During work on the electrical system: Do not touch any live
lines.
►
Check earthing cables are securely seated and complete.
►
Check that the connecting surfaces of the earthing cables
are clean and free from corrosion.
When the engine is running, there is a risk of injury from rotat-
ing and hot components.
►
Only authorised technical personnel may work on the com-
bustion engine.
►
Switch off the engine and allow it to cool down.
►
Check the engine regularly and rectify any faults found
straight away (e.g. damage, leaks).
►
Listen out for unusual noises or vibrations, etc.
►
Only perform maintenance with the engine switched off.
►
Watch out for hot components.
The ignition cable carries high voltage to the spark plugs. Le-
thal electric shocks may result if the ignition cable or spark
plug is touched when the engine is running. Wearers of pace-
makers are particularly at risk.
►
Do not touch the ignition cable or spark plug when the en-
gine is running.
