The following hazards may occur when installing, operating, cleaning or maintaining the machine. NOTE Information on the method of risk analysis is given in EN 1050. 4.2 Mechanical hazards 4.2.1 Crushing, drawing in or trapping, impact hazards: These hazards are related to:  physical contact with fixed or moving parts of the machine;  instability of mobile machines (causing tipping or moving).



EN 12621:2006 (E) 13 4.2.2 High pressure fluid injection or ejection hazard These hazards are related to:  Overpressure;  rupture of hosing, piping or joints due to failure, breakdown, vibration, shock loading, material fatigue, erosion or corrosion. 4.3 Electrical hazards 4.3.1 Electrical shock (by direct or indirect contact) Such hazards can occur, for instance by touching:  electrically live parts that are non insulated for operational reasons;  conductive parts which are not at a dangerous voltage under normal operation, but in the case of failure could be;  electrically live parts when the insulation is damaged by contact with solvents or by mechanical parts. 4.3.2 External influence on electrical equipment hazard Such hazards can occur, for instance when interaction of the electrostatic high voltage equipment with construction elements of the control and safety systems can cause dangerous malfunctions for instance short circuits on electronic safety circuits, alarm units. 4.4 Thermal hazards These hazards are related to:  the application of heated or cooled coating materials;  the use of heated air;  unexpected ejection of hot coating materials;  unintended heating of any part of the machine during operation;  failure of indication of the maximum allowable temperature of the content. 4.5 Noise hazards Hazardous noise levels can be reached for instance by noise emission of pumps, handling devices, compressed air equipment (motors, valves etc.) when the coating and/or auxiliary materials are pressurised and supplied and/or circulated under pressure. Noise can cause hearing impairment, accidents to operators of the machine or persons working near it due to interference with verbal communication and with perception of acoustic danger signals, extra-auditory effects, shock reactions. 4.6 Vibration hazards In particular, vibrations could generate effects on the muscular/bone structure, neurological and vascular disorders. Such vibration hazards can be generated by e.g.:  coating mat
