Rules applying during all phases of
the assignment:
▪The customer must ensure that this product is
erected and dismantled, reset and generally used for
its intended purpose in accordance with the applica-
ble laws, Standards and rules, under the direction
and supervision of suitably skilled persons.
These persons' mental and physical capacity must
not in any way be impaired by alcohol, medicines or
drugs.
▪Doka products are technical working appliances
which are intended for industrial/commercial use
only, always in accordance with the respective Doka
User Information booklets or other technical docu-
mentation authored by Doka.
▪The stability of all components and units must be
ensured during all phases of the construction work!
▪The functional/technical instructions, safety warn-
ings and loading data must all be strictly observed
and complied with. Failure to do so can cause acci-
dents and severe (even life-threatening) damage to
health, as well as very great material damage.
▪Fire-sources are not permitted anywhere near the
formwork. Heating appliances are only allowed if
properly and expertly used, and set up a safe dis-
tance away from the formwork.
▪The work must take account of the weather condi-
tions (e.g. risk of slippage). In extreme weather,
steps must be taken in good time to safeguard the
equipment, and the immediate vicinity of the equip-
ment, and to protect employees.
▪All connections must be checked regularly to ensure
that they still fit properly and are functioning cor-
rectly.
It is very important to check all screw-type connec-
tions and wedge-clamped joins whenever the con-
struction operations require (particularly after excep-
tional events such as storms), and to tighten them if
necessary.
Assembly
▪The equipment/system must be inspected by the
customer before use, to ensure that it is in suitable
condition. Steps must be taken to rule out the use of
any components that are damaged, deformed, or
weakened due to wear, corrosion or rot.
▪Combining our formwork systems with those of other
manufacturers could be dangerous, risking damage
to both health and property. If you intend to combine
different systems, please contact Doka for advice
first.
▪The equipment/system must be assembled and
erected in accordance with the applicable laws,
Standards and rules by suitably skilled personnel of
the customer's, having regard to any and all required
safety inspections.
▪It is not permitted to modify Doka products; any such
modifications constitute a safety risk.
Erecting the formwork
▪Doka products and systems must be set up so that
all loads acting upon them are safely transferred!
Pouring
▪Do not exceed the permitted fresh-concrete pres-
sures. Over-high pouring rates overload the form-
work, cause greater deflection and risk breakage.
Striking the formwork
▪Do not strike the formwork until the concrete has
reached sufficient strength and the person in charge
has given the order for the formwork to be struck!
▪When striking the formwork, never use the crane to
break concrete cohesion. Use suitable tools such as
timber wedges, special pry-bars or system features
such as Framax stripping corners.
▪When striking the formwork, do not endanger the
stability of any part of the structure, or of any scaf-
folding, platforms or formwork that is still in place!
Transporting, stacking and storing
▪Observe all regulations applying to the handling of
formwork and scaffolding. In addition, the Doka
slinging means must be used - this is a mandatory
requirement.
▪Remove any loose parts or fix them in place so that
they cannot be dislodged or fall free!
▪All components must be stored safely, following all
the special Doka instructions given in the relevant
sections of this manual!
Regulations; industrial safety
▪All laws, Standards, industrial safety regulations and
other safety rules applying to the utilisation of our
products in the country and/or region in which you
are operating must be observed at all times.
▪If a person or object falls against, or into, the side-
guard component and/or any of its accessories, the
component affected may only continue in use after it
has been inspected and passed by an expert.
Maintenance
▪Only original Doka components may be used as
spare parts. Repairs may only be carried out by the
manufacturer or authorised facilities.
Miscellaneous
We reserve the right to make alterations in the interests
of technical progress.
