2 Safety instructions
2.1 General safety instructions
¾
Never operate INTORQ components when you notice they are damaged.
¾
Never make any technical changes to INTORQ components.
¾
Never operate INTORQ components when they are incompletely mounted or incompletely connected.
¾
Never operate INTORQ components without their required covers.
¾
Only use accessories that have been approved by INTORQ.
¾
Only use original spare parts from the manufacturer.
Keep the following in mind during the initial commissioning and during operation:
¾
Depending on the degree of protection, INTORQ components may have both live (voltage carrying),
moving and rotating parts. Such components require the appropriate safety mechanisms.
¾
Surfaces can become hot during operation. Take the appropriate safety measures (to ensure contact/
touch protection).
¾
Follow all specifications and information found in the Operating Instructions and the corresponding
documentation. These must be followed to maintain safe, trouble-free operations and to achieve the
specified product characteristics.
¾
The installation, maintenance and operation of INTORQ components may only be carried out by quali-
fied personnel. According to IEC 60364 and CENELEC HD 384, skilled personnel must be qualified in
the following areas:
– Familiarity and experience with the installation, assembly, commissioning and operation of the
product.
– Specialist qualifications for the specific field of activity.
– Skilled personnel must know and apply all regulations for the prevention of accidents, directives,
and laws relevant on site.
