EB 3018 EN 1-7Safety instructions and measuresWARNING!Risk of personal injury due to residual process medium in the regulator.While working on the regulator, residual process medium can escape and, dependingon its properties, may lead to personal injury, e.g. (chemical) burns.Î If possible, drain the process medium from all the plant sections affected and theregulator.Î Wear protective clothing, safety gloves and eye protection.Damage to health relating to the REACH regulation.If a SAMSON device contains a substance which is listed as being a substance of veryhigh concern on the candidate list of the REACH regulation, this circumstance is indi-cated on the SAMSON delivery note.Î Information on safe use of the part affected u www.samsongroup.com/en/about-samson/material-compliance/reach-regulation/.Crush hazard arising from moving parts.The electric actuator contains moving parts (actuator and plug stems), which can injurehands or fingers if inserted into the actuator.Î Do not insert hands or finger into the yoke while the valve is in operation.Î Disconnect the supply voltage and protect it against unintentional reconnection be-fore performing any work on the control valve.Î Do not impede the movement of the actuator or plug stem by inserting objects intotheir path.Î Before unblocking the actuator and plug stem after they have become blocked (e.g.due to seizing up after remaining in the same position for a long time), release anystored energy in the actuator (e.g. spring compression). See associated actuatordocumentation.Î Before starting any work on the regulator, depressurize plant sections as well as theregulator.
