Precautions during operation
1. Only use couplings and connections for flexible hoses of correct types and dimensions. While the
air flows through the flexible hose or air pipe, ensure that the open extremity is being held firmly. A
loose extremity can forcibly strike and cause injuries. Ensure that a flexible hose is completely de-
pressurised before disconnecting it.
2. Operators starting machines in remote control mode must take opportune precautions to be certain
that no one is checking or working on the machine. For this purpose, a suitable notice must be affixed
on equipment that can be started in remote mode.
3. Never get the machine to operate when there is the risk that fumes, vapours or flammable or toxic
particles could be sucked in.
4. Never get the machine to operate below or above its capacity limits.
5. Workers operating in environments or places in which the noise level pressure reaches or exceeds
90 dB(A) must wear protective hearing devices.
6. Periodically check that:
•
All protections are in place and securely fastened
All flexible hoses and/or pipes inside the machine are in good condition, firmly positioned and are not
•
subject to friction.
•
That there are no leaks.
•
All fastening elements are properly tightened.
All current conductors are firm and in optimal condition.
•
•
Safety valves and other pressure attenuation devices are not obstructed by dirt or paint.
The air outflow valve and the air circuit (for example, conduits, couplings, manifolds, valves, flexible
•
hoses, etc.) are in good condition, not worn or being inappropriately used.
7. In air heating systems, should hot air from compressors used for refrigerating be used, for example
to heat a work environment, adopt suitable precautions against pollution and the possible contamina-
tion of air to be breathed.
8. Do not remove, or tamper with, any element of the sound-proofing material.
9. Do not remove or tamper with safety devices, protections or isolators fitted to the machine. Each
pressurised or auxiliary tank installed outside the machine to contain pressurised air that exceeds at-
mospheric pressure, must be protected by a pressure-discharging device or by compulsory devices.
