3.1 Principle

State of the art

This machine has been constructed with state-of-the-art technology according to

the recognized rules of safety. However, improper use can pose a risk to life and

limb of the user and/or third parties, or cause damage to the machine and other

equipment.

3.2 Proper use

This machine, depending on its type, can be used only for the excitation of all

types of molds and formworks, vibratory tables, vibratory stands, compaction of

fresh concrete and for mounting on conveyor belts (silo).

Other special applications must be checked and released by Wacker Neuson.

Proper use also includes the observance of all notes and safety information

contained in this manual, as well as complying with the prescribed service and

maintenance instructions.

3.7 General sources of danger

The following section lists dangers based on the risk assessment. Residual risks

are particular risks associated with handling machinery which, despite compli-

ance with the standards of safe construction, cannot be eliminated.

Residual risks are not obviously recognizable and can be the source of a poten-

tial injury or risk to health.

If unforeseeable residual risks occur, the machine must be switched off immedi-

ately and the competent manager informed. The manager will make further de-

cisions and do everything necessary to eliminate the risk.

The manufacturer of the machine must be informed if necessary.

DANGER

Risk of fatal injury from electrical voltage!

There is an immediate danger to life from touching live parts. Damaged

insulation or individual parts can be dangerous to life.

Therefore:

 If the insulation is damaged, immediately disconnect the power supply and

arrange repair work.

 Only allow qualified electricians to perform work on the electrical system.

 The electrical system must be disconnected from the mains power and test-

ed to ensure no voltage.

 The power supply must be switched off before maintenance, cleaning and

repair work and fused before being switched on again.

 Do not bypass fuses or decommission. Use the correct number of amps

when changing fuses.

 Protect live parts from wet conditions. Danger due to short circuit.

WARNING

Noise-induced hearing damage!

Noise in the area where work is performed can cause serious hearing damage.

Therefore:

 Suitable ear protection must be worn during all work that generates noise.

 Only remain in the danger zone for as long as is necessary.

WARNING

Heat-induced risk of burning!

The machine can become extremely hot during long use and cause burns on

contact with skin.

Therefore:

 Allow the machine to cool down after use.

 If the cooling down stage cannot be complied with (e.g. in an emergency),

always wear heat-resistant gloves.

3.8 General safety information

The safety information in this chapter contain the "General Safety Information",

which must be listed in the manual in accordance with applicable standards.

Information may be included that does not apply to this machine.

3.8.1 Safety in the workplace

 Keep work space tidy. Untidy or unlit work spaces can lead to accidents.

 Working with this machine in an explosive environment is forbidden. Electri-

cal tools produce sparks, which can ignite dust or vapor.

 Keep children and other persons away from work performed on this machine.

Distraction while using the machine can cause loss of control.

 Working with this machine among dry vegetation is forbidden. Danger of fire!

 Always secure the machine against tipping over, rolling, sliding, and falling.

Danger of injury!

3.8.2 Service

 Machine must only be repaired or maintained by qualified specialist staff.

 Only use original replacement parts and accessories. This ensures that the

operational safety of the machine is maintained.

3.8.3 Safety of people

 Working under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication can lead to seri-

ous injuries.

 Suitable protective gear must be worn for all work. Suitable protective gear

significantly minimizes the risk of injury.

 Ensure that the machine is switched off before connecting to a power source.

Unintended setup can lead to serious injuries.

 Remove tools before starting up the machine. A tool left on a moving part

could be hurled out and lead to serious injuries.

 Always ensure your position is safe.

 Wear suitable clothing. Keep loose or baggy clothing, gloves, jewelry, and

long hair away from moving or rotating parts. Risk of entanglement!

NOTE

All notes and safety information in this manual must be read and complied with.

Failure to comply with these instructions can result in electric shock, fire and/or

serious injuries, damage to the machine, and/or damage to other objects. Keep

safety information and notes for future reference.

3 Safety

100_0102_si_0003.fm 17

3.8.4 Handling and use

 Do not exceed the operating limits of the machine or allow it to operate for

longer periods. Risk of damage to the machine.

 Never start up machines with defective switches. Replace defective switches

immediately. Machines with defective switches conceal a high risk of injury.

 Avoid unintended machine startup. Remove plug from plug receptacle before

making adjustments to the machine settings. Unintended startup can lead to

serious injuries.

 Keep unused machines out of reach of children. Machine may only be used

by trained staff.

 Handle machine with care. Replace defective parts immediately before start-

ing up this machine. Defective machines conceal a high accident risk.

 Use the machine, accessories, tools, etc., in accordance with these

instructions.

3.9 Electrical safety

The safety information in this chapter contain the "General Safety Informations",

which must be listed in the manual in accordance with applicable standards.

Information may be included that does not apply to this machine.

 Machine connector plug must fit plug receptacle. Connector plug must not be

altered in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with grounded machines. Unal-

tered plugs and plug receptacles minimize the risk of electric shock.

 Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if the body is grounded.

 Keep machine away from wet conditions. Penetrating moisture increases the

risk of electric shock.

 Do not use cables other than for their intended purpose. Protect cables from

heat, oil, and sharp objects. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of

electric shock.

 When working outdoors, only use cables suitable for outdoor spaces. Using

a cable for outdoor spaces minimizes the risk of electric shock.

 A fault current protective switch must be used if working in a damp environ-

ment cannot be avoided. Fault current protective switches minimize the risk

of electric shock.

 Safety devices, switches, or easily damaged parts must be checked to

ensure that they are functioning perfectly and according to regulations before

this machine is used. Defective safety devices conceal a high risk of injury

and must be replaced immediately by specialist staff.

NOTE

All notes and safety information in this manual must be read and complied with.

Failure to comply with these instructions can result in electric shock, fire and/or

serious injuries, damage to the machine, and/or damage to other objects. Keep

safety information and notes for future reference.

NOTE

The rated voltage is located on the nameplate of this machine.

Observe relevant national safety regulations!
