sizes and types recommended by the machine
manufacturer for pressing; do not use other
types or sizes of accessories and consumables.

Hazards in the workplace

■ Slipping, tripping and falling are the main
causes of injuries in the workplace. Look out
for surfaces which could have become slippery
through use of the machine, and also any trip-
ping hazards caused by air or hydraulic hoses.
■ Proceed with caution in unknown surroundings.
Hidden hazards caused by power or other
supply lines may be present.
■ This pressing machine is not intended for use
in explosive atmospheres and is not insulated
against contact with electrical power sources;
■ Do not operate the machine in the vicinity of
electric mains, gas pipelines, etc. which could
pose a hazard if damaged by the machine.

Hazards caused by dust and vapours

■ The exhaust air should be routed so that the
raising of dust in already dusty environments is
kept to a minimum.

Hazards caused by noise

■ Excessive noise levels in conjunction with insuf-
ficient hearing protection may lead to perma-
nent hearing damage, hearing loss and other
problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing,
whistling or humming in your ears). It is essential
that a risk assessment is carried out with respect
to these risks and that appropriate regulatory
mechanisms are implemented.

maintained in accordance with the recommen-
dations contained in this manual in order to
avoid an unnecessary increase in the noise
level.
■ Consumables/machine tools should be selected,
maintained and replaced in accordance with
the recommendations in this guide in order to
avoid unnecessary increase of the noise levels.
■ If the machine is equipped with a silencer,
always ensure that it is fitted and that it is opera-
tional while the machine is in operation.

Hazards caused by vibrations

malfunctions to the blood circulation in the
hands and arms.
■ When working in a cold environment, wear
warm clothing and keep your hands warm and
dry.
