PERSONAL PROTECTION

• When an electric shock is caused, it is necessary more than anywhere else to put emphasis on safety and risk elimination for the rescuers. The affected person usually stays in contact with electrical equipment (source of injury) because of muscle spasms caused by the electric shock. Traumatic process continues in this case. It is therefore necessary to TURN THE POWER OFF FIRST using any possible way. Subsequently CALL AN AMBULANCE or other professional service, and then PROVIDE FIRST AID! Ensure free airways, check breathing, check pulse, put the affected flat on their back, bend their head and stick out their lower jaw. If necessary, begin with artificial respiration into the lungs and heart massage.
• To extinguish the fire, use suitable fire extinguisher (snow, powder, halotron).

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

• Wear eye protection! The operation of machine can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes which may result in severe eye damage. Normal glasses are not sufficient for eye protection. For example, corrective glasses or sunglasses do not provide adequate protection because they have not special safety glass and aren’t enough closed from the sides.
• Wear adequate noise protection equipment! The impact of noise can cause hearing damage or hearing loss. Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
• After using the machine for a longer time, you may have troubles with the capillary return in hands. However, you may prolong the time of use when wearing suitable gloves and taking regular breaks. Remember that the time of using the machine may gat shorter in result of personal inclination to poor capillary return, low outside temperature or strong grip of the machine while working.

PREVENTION AND FIRST AID

**** Note: We recommend always having:

• A suitable fire extinguisher (snow, powder, halotron) at your disposal.
• A fully equipped first-aid kit, easily accessible for accompaniment and operator.
• Mobile phone or other device for quickly calling emergency services.
• Accompaniment familiar with the principles of first aid. Accompaniment must keep a safe distance from the workplace while always seeing you!

Always follow the principles of first aid in case of any injuries.
