In the event of a fire:
• Switch off the machine (emergency stop switch)
• Assess the situation: If the situation is dangerous, leave the area immediately
and call the fire brigade. Only try to extinguish the fire if your personal safety is
not at risk.
• Remove a suitable fire extinguisher (A, B, C) from its bracket and prepare it for
use.
• Locate the source of the fire. Attack the fire with repeated short bursts from the
extinguisher. Always spray the extinguishing agent into the source of the fire. In
other words, always aim at the burning material and not at the flames.
• After using the fire extinguisher, do not return it to its usual place but have it re-
filled immediately.
Observe the following safety rules and countermeasures
• Find out the number of locations where fire extinguishers are kept and familiarise
yourself with their use. The adjacent sign indicates the location of a fire extingu-
isher.
• Do not use inflammable cleaning agents to clean the machine.
• Store all processing materials in the proper manner in accordance with local gui-
delines.
3.22 Danger caused by laser beam (laser pointer)
Class 2 lasers are used as laser pointers. Momentary irradiation of the eyes, as can
occur if you accidentally look directly at the laser, is not dangerous. In addition,
depending on the construction, the laser beam is targeted directly at the material to
be processed.
Safety instructions
• Avoid direct, prolonged eye contact
3.23 Safety instructions for operators
This instruction manual cannot cover all possible situations and potential hazards.
It is therefore particularly important that operators
• have been thoroughly trained and are aware of and able to correctly assess the
hazards that can arise from the machine
• are familiar with all safety devices on the machine
• request information from the manufacturer without delay if an undocumented, ha-
zardous situation arises in connection with the machine
In addition to these safety instructions, you must also observe the situation-related
safety notes in the chapters "Controls and operation" and "Maintenance and
cleaning".
