2.3 Possible sources of danger and protective measures
2.3.1 Possible sources of danger
Improper handling of the device and its components.
➢The handle lies on the workpiece or work surface in such a
way that the carbon fiber brush comes into contact with the
metal surface. In this case, electricity continues to flow.
If the components are connected incorrectly, stray currents can lead
to the destruction of electrical protective conductors.
➢Defective live cables.
➢Damaged or defective switching elements.
➢Defective connectors.
➢Non-existent or damaged Teflon insulations.
➢Wrong work environment.
Do not use protective clothing.
➢Goggles
➢Apron or overalls
➢Gloves
The carbon fiber brush or the electrode and the workpiece can be
heated to approx. 200°C. Risk of burns!
Improper handling of chemicals.
➢Electrolyte splashes can cause burns to the eyes.
➢Electrolyte splashes can lead to skin burns.
➢Spilled electrolyte liquid can be found on stone floors or
cause chemical burns to other materials.
Electromagnetic fields may affect pacemakers.
