SAFETY
2.1.6
WARNING OF SPECIAL DANGERS
ELECTRIC ENERGY
Use only original fuses and circuit breakers with the specified
current rating. Switch off the machine immediately if trouble
occurs in the electrical system.
When working with the machine , maintain a safe distance
from overhead electric lines. If work is to be carried out close
to overhead lines, the working equipment must be kept well
away from them. Caution, danger! Check out the prescribed
safety distances.
If your machine comes into contact with a live wire
do not leave the machine
drive the machine out of the hazard zone
warn others against approaching and touching the
machine
have the live wire de-energized
do not leave the machine until the damaged line has
been safely de-energized.
Work on the electrical system or equipment may only be car-
ried out by a skilled electrician himself or by specially
instructed personnel under the control and supervision of
such electrician and in accordance with the applicable electri-
cal engineering rules.
If provided for in the regulations, the power supply to parts of
machine, on which inspection, maintenance and repair work
is to be carried out must be cut off.
Before starting any work, check the de-energized parts for the
presence of power and ground or short-circuit them in addi-
tion to insulating adjacent live parts and elements.
The electrical equipment of the machine is to be inspected
and checked at regular intervals. Defects such as loose con-
nections or scorched cables must be rectified immediately.
Necessary work on live parts and elements must be carried
out only in the presence of a second person who can cut off
the power supply in case of danger by actuating the emer-
gency shut-off or main power switch. Secure the working area
with a red-and-white safety chain and a warning sign. Use
insulated tools only.
Before starting work on high-voltage assemblies and after
cutting out the power supply, the feeder cable must be
grounded and components such as capacitors short-circuited
with a grounding rod.
