12.3 Remaining risk factors

It is important to ensure that each machine has remaining risks.
In the execution of all work (even the simplest) greatest attention is
required. A safe working depends on you!
Even if the machine is used as required it is still impossible to eliminate certain residual risk
factors totally. The following hazards may arise in connection with the machine´s construction
and design:
Despite of correct and proper use and maintenance there remain some residual risk factors:
 Hazard of injury or machine damage due to undetected machine defect
To minimize this risk, check the machine prior to every operation for loose screws and
connections. Check the motor noise, the spindle, the drill chuck, etc. for eventual dam-
age. Damaged parts have to be replaced immediately, no operation of the machine in the
meantime!
 Hazard of electric shock
Undetected malfunctions in the power supply and/or the connected wood working machine
might result in electric shock when touching the machine. Ensure proper electric
installation, and let it check periodically by a trained electrician.
 Danger due to unintended machine start-up
Eliminate this risk by disconnecting the machine before you perform any checks or
activities on the machine.
 Hazard of inhaling toxic dust
Especially wood dust arising from chemically treated wood and/or lacquer/paint are
harmful when inhaled. Therefore wear a suitable breathing mask if required.
These risk factors can be minimized through obeying all security and operation instructions, proper
machine maintenance, proficient and appropriate operation by persons with technical knowledge and
experience.
