General Safety Instructions; Electrical Safety - Zipper Maschinen ZI-WP400TN Betriebsanleitung

Put on your personal protective equipment before working on the machine.
Work on electrical components or equipment may only be carried out by a qualified
electrician or under the instruction and supervision of a qualified electrician.

12.3 General safety instructions

To avoid malfunctions, damage and health hazards when working with the machine, the following
points must be observed in addition to the general rules for safe working:
• Before start-up, check the machine for completeness and function. Only use the machine if the
guards and other non-parting guards required for machining have been fitted, are in good
operating condition and have been properly maintained.
• Choose a level, vibration-free, non-slip surface for the installation location.
• Ensure sufficient space around the machine!
• Ensure sufficient lighting conditions at the workplace to avoid stroboscopic effects.
• Ensure a clean working environment.
• Only use perfect tools that are free of cracks and other defects (e.g. deformations).
• Remove tool keys and other adjustment tools before switching on the machine.
• Keep the area around the machine free of obstacles (e.g. dust, chips, cut parts, etc.).
• Check the strength of the machine connections before each use.
• Never leave the running machine unattended. Switch off the machine before leaving the
working area and secure it against unintentional or unauthorised recommissioning.
• The machine may only be operated, serviced or repaired by persons who are familiar with it
and who have been informed of the hazards arising from this work.
• Ensure that unauthorised persons maintain a safe distance from the machine and keep
children away from the machine.
• When working on the machine, never wear loose jewellery, loose clothing, ties or long, open
hair.
• Hide long hair under hair protection.
• Wear close-fitting protective clothing and suitable protective equipment (eye protection, dust
mask, ear protection; gloves only when handling tools).
• Hide long hair under hair protection.
• Always work with care and the necessary caution and never use excessive force.
• Do not overload the machine!
• Do not work on the machine if it is tired, not concentrated or under the influence of
medication, alcohol or drugs!
• Do not use the machine in areas where vapours from paints, solvents or flammable liquids
represent a potential danger (danger of fire or explosion!).
• Do not smoke in the immediate vicinity of the machine (fire hazard)!
• Shut down the machine and disconnect it from the power supply before carrying out any
adjustment, conversion, cleaning, maintenance or repair work. Before starting any work on the
machine, wait until all tools or machine parts have come to a complete standstill and secure
the machine against unintentional restarting.

12.4 Electrical safety

• Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of the machine, resulting in
overheating. Make sure that the extension cord is not longer than 10 m and its cross-section is
not less than 2.5 mm² to allow sufficient current flow to the motor.
• Avoid using free and insufficiently insulated connections. Connections must be made with
appropriate material suitable for outdoor use.
• A damaged or tangled cable increases the risk of electric shock. Handle the cable with care.
Never use the cable to carry, pull or disconnect the power tool. Keep the cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
• Proper plugs and sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Water entry into machine increases the risk of electric shock. Do not expose machine to rain or
moisture.
• The machine may only be used in humid environments if the power source is protected by a
residual current circuit breaker.
• Do not use the power tool if it cannot be turned on and off with the ON-OFF-switch.
