2.3 Residual hazards
2.3.1 Hazards due to electrical energy
The SmartFiller is connected to the power supply via a 24 volt power supply unit. When connecting the power supply to the SmartFiller, check that the cable is seated correctly. Before maintenance work or disassembly, disconnect the mains plug and thus disconnect the SmartFiller from the power supply.
The electrical equipment of the SmartFiller must be checked at regular intervals. Defects, such as loose connections, rubbed or scorched cables, must be rectified immediately by a qualified electrician.
The SmartFiller must be switched off immediately in the event of faults in the electrical power supply.
2.3.2 Magnetism hazards
Hazards due to strong magnets
The SmartFiller is attached to surfaces by powerful magnets. These magnets cause electromagnetic fields that can affect pacemakers and similar devices. This can lead to malfunctions in pacemakers. The electromagnetic field affects devices in the immediate vicinity, the perimeter is about 0.5 meters around the SmartFiller. Persons with pacemakers should not stay in this field.

**WARNING**

| Danger from strong magnets
The magnets cause strong, electromagnetic fields that can affect and interfere with electronic devices such as pacemakers. Malfunctions of pacemakers can cause death or serious injury to the persons affected.
➢ Persons with pacemakers must not be in the vicinity of the SmartFiller.
➢ Persons with pacemakers must not perform any activities with the SmartFiller.
➢ Check this warning notice on the SmartFiller or on the machine tool at regular intervals. Replace damaged warning labels immediately.

The hazard exists even when the SmartFiller is switched off; the magnets are always active.
Persons with pacemakers must therefore not carry out any activities with the SmartFiller (neither transport, commissioning, disposal or maintenance and servicing).
In addition, regularly check the warning signs attached to the machine tool for damage. Only these pictograms can warn and protect uninvolved third parties from the magnets. For this purpose, comply with the information in the maintenance plan.
Risk of crushing due to magnets
The SmartFiller is attached to surfaces such as drums or machine housings by strong magnets. During installation, the magnetic effect can instantly pull the SmartFiller to the surface. If the fitter does not pay attention to his fingers during this process, they can be crushed as a result. This can result in slight bruising of individual fingers or fingertips. To protect against bruising, the SmartFiller should always be held by the upper part of the housing. Together with appropriate care, the SmartFiller can be fixed without risk.
Falling SmartFiller
The SmartFiller is attached to surfaces by means of magnets. If the magnetic adhesion of the surface is too low or non-existent, the SmartFiller can fall down. Falling down can crush the installer’s feet. If the SmartFiller falls to the floor, it can be damaged.
Test the magnetic effect of the surface by carefully moving the SmartFiller towards it. Observe the magnetic effect and hold the SmartFiller by the upper part of the housing to prevent your fingers from being crushed. Then try to move the SmartFiller to see if it moves and threatens to fall off. If the SmartFiller moves even when a slight force is applied, a different surface must be selected for mounting or the supplied wall mount must be used.
2.3.3 Hazards due to leakage and hose lines
Leakage and defective hose lines

The SmartFiller is connected to the water supply and the cooling lubricant tank via hose lines. If these lines are not laid properly or if damaged lines are used, this will lead to leaks and cooling lubricant will escape.
Escaping cooling lubricant can cause injuries (e.g. by slipping). Therefore, lay the hose lines carefully and free of tripping hazards. Check the assembly of the hose lines before commissioning. Observe the information in the maintenance plan for regular checks.
Risk of tripping due to cables
The SmartFiller is connected to the water supply and the cooling lubricant tank via hose lines. These hose lines must be laid carefully to prevent the risk of tripping. Persons who trip over hose lines can fall and injure themselves. In addition, the lines or the connections on the SmartFiller can be damaged and cooling lubricant can escape in an uncontrolled manner.
