2.3 Danger of the machine
At the strip machine Powerstripper AM 12, perform a hazard analysis with a closing safety
test and be careful with every machine a certain risk remains, which cannot be eliminated by
design.
The purpose of the hazard analysis is to ensure, that the machine is conforming to guidelines
and can be considered safe.
Be aware that all machines pose risks that cannot be eliminated entirely by design.
See 2.8 Remaining risks.
2.4 Using risks
The user should not clear errors that require the removal of the cover while the unit is on.
Before you change the tools or spare parts you have to unplug and disconnect the machine
from the pneumatic- and power supply system.
2.5 Sources of danger
Before maintenance and cleaning work at the machine. The machine must disconnect from
the power supply system and the pneumatic supply system.
Never remove the safety features or damage controls by making changes to
the machine.
2.6 Safety installations
The safety features are installed to protect the worker.
The operator should perform a yearly a check of the safety installations.
The inductive ring sensor is installed at the front panel.
The ring sensor detects, if you insert a metallic part or an other
part in the machine. It determines whether the dirve is activated.
The security switch is activated by opening the front panel of the
machine, when the panel is open,the machine loses pressure.
If the removal of the cover is necessary, be sure that the earth
wire is connected after re-closing the machine.
The remove of the cover should only be allowed by skilled
workers or trained personnel.
The switching power supply protects from dangerous voltages,
because does not allow more than 60 V-AC or 110 V-DC on the
machine.

2.7 Signs and Symbols
The operating manual uses follow important signs and descriptions for safety instructions.
2.7.1 Warning signs
Signal word!
This warning sign describes a possible danger.
Ignoring the signs can result in injuries or property damages.
This sign is often use in combination with other mandatory signs.
WARNING! Danger by electrical voltage!
CAUTION!
This warning sign advises of the danger of bruising.
CAUTION!
Warning for cutting injuries of the hand.

2.7.2 Mandatory signs
Use the operating manual!
Before putting the machine into operation read the instruction
manual carefully.
This signs marks important operation and application instructions.
The non-observance of the notes can produce damages of the tool
and personal property.
Plug main switch
Use the machine only dry conditions.
2.7.3 Information signs on or inside the machine
Earth conductor
This label is placed at the earthing screw.
The protective earthing is a methode, which is safeguard in a fault against
dangerous voltage and electric shock.
The methode protective earthing is doing by a earth conductor.
The connection is created by a rubber connector with earth conductor contact.
The earth conductor “PE“(green/yellow insulation only in Germany) is used for this safety
installation.

B-W50511-002_en.doc / Januar 16 7
2.8 Remaining risks
If you remove the barrier on the underside of the machine and don’t install the waste funnel
you can reach into the machine from the underside.
If you ignore the maintenance cycle for the main valve, errors can occur.
A bigger danger is present when the electronic control simultaneously main functions,
because the machine will start erratically.
If the control is defective and the machine starts abruptly there is a higer risk of injury, if a
finger is incorrectly inserted in feeding funnel. well as the concorrently insert of the finger in
the feeding funnel injury can be possible.
Even with the observance all safety notes and warning information, risks remain when
operating of the tool.
The machine is built by the state of the art methods and outlines safety-related instructions.
However, the operation of the tool can pose dangers for users.
By disallowing the insertion of fingers in the feeding funnel, light cutting- and impact
damages can be prevented.
Errors which could influence the safety of the machine, should be eleminated immediately.
If necessary, contact the manufacturer with the fabrication number.
2.9 Security measures at the installation location
Internal instructions and controls should ensure that the work place
and the environment are clean and clear.
The machine must be installed securely on a table and have a hole of 127 mm x 72 mm /
5’’inch, 2 “ inch for the waste funnel.
A fallen machine represents a great risk of injury.
WARNING!
Electric shock by work at conducting parts.
⇒ Work on electric parts should only be performed by skilled personnel.

2.10 Notes for the operator
⇒ The duty of the operator is to write instructions.
⇒
The operator should perform a yearly check of the safety features.
⇒
Use only original fuses with declared amperage.
The operator should:
♦ Be familiar with local and on-site regulations relating to safety and accident prevention.
♦ Keep notes instructions in readable conditions and replace them when necessary.
♦ Inform the manufacturer immediately if the machine and the application becomes unsafe.
♦ Change machine parts immediately if they are not in good order and condition.
♦ Use the machine only for the intended use.
♦ Before you put the machine into operation ensure the machine is safe and in good
condition.
2.11 Notes for special dangers
CAUTION!
If you insert the finger in the feeding funnel, the dangers of cutting
damages arise.
Do not insert your finger in the feeding funnel.
2.12 Hazard generated by noise
The equivalent continuous weighted sound pressure level of the dismantling machine
Powerstripper AM 12 is ≤70 dB(A).
Therefore, no ear protection is necessary while operating the machine.
