Work safety

Work area safety
The machine's risk area
Nobody is permitted to be within the machine's risk area
when work is underway. This also applies for the operator.
The working area is limited by the machine's reach,
however, the risk area varies depending on working
method, work object, surface etc. Study possible risks
before starting work. If conditions change during the
course of the work, the risk area must be redefined.
Workplace
• Define and cordon off the risk area. Nobody is
permitted to be within the machine's risk area when
work is underway.
• Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated
to create a safe working environment.
• The machine can be remote controlled over long
distances. Do not operate the machine unless you
have clear supervision of the machine and its risk
area.
• Never start working with the machine until the working
area has been cleared of obstacles.
• Be on the alert when working in environments where
there is a substantial risk of slipping due to
unevenness, loose material, oil, ice or suchlike.
• Inspect ground conditions, load-bearing structures
etc. to prevent materials, machines and staff falling
and deal with any risks there might be before starting
work.
• When working at a height, for instance on roofs,
platforms and the like, increase the size of the risk
area. Define and cordon off the risk area at ground
level and ensure that no material can fall down and
cause injury.
• Do not use the machine in environments where there
is a risk of explosion. Take the risk of spark formation
into account when working in flammable
environments.
• Always check and mark where electricity cables and
pipelines are routed.
• The air in confined spaces can rapidly become
harmful to health due to, for example, dust and gases.
Use protective equipment and ensure that there is
satisfactory ventilation.
Personal safety
• Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have
drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medication that
could affect your vision, your judgement or your co-
ordination.
• Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under the heading "Personal protective equipment".
• An incorrect maneuver or unforeseeable incident can
result in collapse. Never stand underneath the work
object.
OPERATING
• Never stand where there is a risk of being crushed.
The machine can rapidly change position. Never
stand underneath a raised arm, even if the machine is
turned off.
• Reduce the risk when working alone by making sure
that an emergency alarm is available via mobile
phone or other equipment.
• People and animals can distract you causing you to
lose control of the machine. For this reason, always
remain concentrated and focused on the task. Never
allow children to operate the machine.
• Always work in a manner that permits easy access to
the emergency stop.
Hydraulic safety
• Risk of burn. The hydraulic oil, the hoses and the
connections can reach very high temperatures with or
without the tool connected. Use appropriate personal
protective equipment.
• Before performing operations on the hydraulic
system, wait until the machine has cooled down.
• Check that all couplings, connections and hydraulic
hoses are in full working order.
• Keep the hydraulic hoses and couplings free from dirt.
• Do not misuse hoses.
• Do not use hoses that are distorted, worn or
damaged.
• Check that none of the hoses are rubbing against
sharp edges. Be alert to the risk of abrasive jets.
• Adjust the length of hydraulic hoses so that they are
never entirely stretched.
• Ensure that the hose is not twisted during mounting.
• Avoid severe bends in the hose.
• Check that the hoses are connected correctly to the
machine and that the hydraulic couplings lock as
intended before pressurising the hydraulic system.
The couplings are locked by turning the outer sleeve
on the female coupling so that the slot moves away
from the ball.
The pressure hoses in the system must always be
connected to the tool's intake. The return hoses in the
system must always go to the tool's outlet. Confusing
the connections can cause the tool to work in reverse,
which can result in personal injury.
• Check for leakage at the hose connectors, couplings
and cylinders. A rupture or leak can cause a "hydraulic
oil injection" in the body or result in other serious
physical injury.
• Do not check for leakage with your hands. Contact
with the leak can result in serious personal injury
caused by the high pressure in the hydraulic system.
• Do not exceed the specified hydraulic oil flow or
pressure for the tool being used. Excessive pressure
or flow can result in rupturing.
