Sommige personen zijn
vatbaar voor hand-en arm-
letsels wanneer zij bloot-
gesteld zijn aan trillingen of
handelingen die hoogst rep-
etitieve bewe-gingen vergen.
Letsels zoals Carpal tunnel
syndroom en tendinitis kunnen veroor-zaakt
worden of verergeren door rep-etitieve
krachtinspanningen van handen en armen.
Vissa personer är känsliga för
de effekter som kan uppstå i
händer och armar när de utför
rörelser som är i hög grad
repetitiva och/eller utsätts för
vibrationer. Tillstånd såsom
karpal tunnel syndrom och
seninflammation kan orsakas eller förvärras
om händer och armar används för att utföra
repetitivt och ansträngande arbete
Há pessoas que são propensas
a sofrer certos sintomas nas
mãos ou nos braços quando
expostos a tarefas que envol-
vam mov-imentos altamente
repe-titivos, acompanhados ou
não de vibrações. Sintomas
como, por exemplo, o síndrome do túnel cárpeo
e a tendonite poderão ser causados ou
agravados elo uso esforçado e repetitivo das
mãos e dos braços.

1. LÆS BRUGSANVISNINGEN!!
Hvis man læser anvisningerne i klargøring og drift,
inden man begynder at gøre maskinen klar, kan man
spare tid og forhindre person- og maskinskade.
2. INSPICÉR MASKINE OG UDSTYR!
Inden maskinen gøres klar, skal man inspicere
maskinen og udstyret. Se efter slidte fittings, løse
bolte og møtrikker, olielækager, rust osv. Når
maskinen holdes i god stand, er der langt mindre
risiko for personskade.
3. LÆS ALTID SKILTE OG ETIKETTER!
Alle skilte og etiketter skal være letlæselige og i god
stand. Nye skilte og etiketter fås hos forhandleren.
4. HOLD AFSTANDTIL BEVÆGELIGE
DELE!
Hold hænder, arme og fingre væk fra alle roterende
og bevægelige dele. Man skal altid slukke for
maskinen, inden man påbegynder justering, hvor
man kommer i kontakt med maskinen eller udstyret.
5. BRUG IKKE LØSTHÆNGENDETØJ OG
SMYKKER!
Løsthængende tøj, smykker og langt,
løsthængende hår kan blive fanget i maskinens
bevægelige dele. Man kan i høj grad nedsætte
risikoen for personskade ved ikke at bruge
løsthængende tøj og smykker og ved at samle langt
hår oppe på hovedet.
6. HOLD ARBEJDSSTEDET RYDDET!
Arbejdsstedet skal holdes ryddeligt og fri for
materialer, der ikke hører til. Uvedkommende
personer bør ikke have adgang til arbejdsstedet,
hvis det er muligt.
Læs følgende grundigt, inden
der foretages andet
BRUG ALTID BESKYTTELSESUDSTYR:
Man skal altid bruge høreværn, når
manarbejdermed eller i nærhedenaf
dennemaskine.
Man skal bruge slag-resistente
sikkerhedsbriller, når man arbejder
med eller i nærheden af denne
maskine.
Siden 1883 har EH Wachs haft ry for deres kvalitet og varetagelse af kundtilfredshed og vil også gøre vort
bedste for at sikre, at vore maskiner benyttes på en sikker og forsvarlig måde.
Vi har lavet en liste over påmindelser, der skal bidrage til at skabe det sikrest mulige arbejdsmiljø. Vi
anbefaler, at sikkerhedsforanstaltningerne på listen omhyggeligt overholdes.
ANVISNING I SIKKERHED DK
Noglemennesker er dis-poneret for
lidelser i hænder og arme, når de
udsættes for opgaver, der
involverer stærkt repetitiv
bevægelse og/eller vibration. Sygdomme, såsom
karpal-tunnelsyndrom og ten-dinitis, kan forårsages
eller forværres af repetitiv, kraftig brug af hænder og
arme.
Holddig påafstand at roterendedele
under drift. Hold hænder og arme
mindst60cm væk frabevægeligedele,
undtagen ved start og stands fling.

Handsker er ikke en form for
beskyttelse. Gå ikke med
handsker, mens maskinen
betjenes. Spåner og findelt
materiale, som udvikies under drift, skal bortskaffes
påforsvarlig måde. Dette skal gæres ved brug at en
fejebakke og en kost, for at undgåpåvirkning at
