WARNING: Insufficient
fastening/connections of ducts or
other pressurised components may lead to
ejection of parts, which may lead to personal
injury.
•Always place the machine on a stable
foundation, to secure it from falling during
operation.
WARNING: Loss of stability:
If machine is not placed on stable
foundation, machine can loss its stability and
fall, causing damage to machine and mild to
severe personal injury.
Always use safety shoes.
•Make sure that the fiber and duct are placed
correctly in the machine.
•Make sure not touch the fiber too close to the
machine due to the risk of injuries to fingers,
and make sure the fiber does not make loops
that might be dangerous to persons around
the machine.
•Never wear loose clothing
WARNING: Loose clothing may
become entangled in the machine.
•Use hearing protection, if the air compressor
is placed nearby.
•The operator must make sure that no other
persons are close to the machine and cable
drums in a way that could be dangerous when
the machine is started.
•It is always a clear advantage to be well
prepared so that you can run the blowing
without interruptions. Pausing in the middle of
blowing creates a risk of being unable to start
again.
•Make sure the working environment is clean
and tidy to avoid injuries due to stumbling
over fiber and equipment.
Intended/Unintended Use
The machine is intended for installation of fiber
optic cables into ducts by blowing with
compressed air and nothing else. Do not use the
machine for other purposes.
Examples of unintended use may be:
•Exceeding max pressure may lead to machine
damage and mild to severe personal injury.
•Use of other media than compressed
atmospheric air for the blowing process can
lead to machine damage or personal injury.
•Use of machine outside its specifications (eg.
use for fibers or ducts larger/smaller than
specified) may lead to a poor job performance
or machine damage.
•Use of wrong size fiber/duct adaptor can lead
to ducts under pressure being blown out of
machine, which may cause personal injury and
machine damage.
WARNING: Unintended use of
machinery may lead to personal
injury, machine failure or damage to the
machine.
•Noise: necessary measures must be taken to
reduce noise at the workplace to an
acceptable level. The discharge of compressed
air from the machine may cause noise level to
increase. Using the wrong gasket size can
increase noise level. Wear on gaskets can also
result in increased noise level. In addition to
noise generated by the Microflow machine,
consideration must also be given to additional
process equipment (e.g. compressors). If
machine is used correctly, the noise level
should not exceed the allowed noise level, but
if the noise level is above permitted limit value
(EU Limit Value 80 db), hearing protection
should be used.
WARNING: Noise above limit
values may cause permanent damage
to hearing.
