Safety information
In order to ensure a constant, ideal performance of the machine and to ensure safe
working conditions, the user is to observe the following safety measures:
The complete electrical wiring is to be performed only by qualified and specially
trained personnel.
Check the machine and the supply devices regularly on possible damages.
Keep your fingers away from moving parts
Before you use unknown material for your process, you must fulfil a risk analysis
If you use process material that develop toxic gases, the machine outlet "Gas
out" must not be release into the enviroment.
It is not allowed to melt flammable material or material which develops under
thermal influence gas, which creates an explosive atmosphere.
Before you melt material like used medical implants a risk analysis must be
performed. Additional the user must operate with personal safety equipment like
rubber gloves and face mask.
The cover of the inductor housing must be in horizontal possition all the time
The mains at the house must be easy accessible.
When opening cabinet/housings or when removing parts (exception: when this is
possible by hand), certain parts under electric power can cause danger. If
opening up the machine is necessary (before maintenance, change of machine
settings, repair or exchange of parts) the machine must be cut off the mains
voltage. If working on the opened machine is inevitable, only qualified trained
personnel aware of the danger caused hereby and aware of the relevant
regulations may be instructed to do this work.
Capacitors in the machine can still be charged even when the machine’s mains
supply is switched off.
When it seems that the machine can no longer be worked safely it has to be
taken out of production and secured against further unintentional use. The
following incidents indicate that safe working is no longer possible:
- the machine is visibly damaged
- the machine does not function
- uncommonly heavy wear from transportation
