• Never exceed the maximum allowed inclination angles for the machine.
• Make sure that the boom system is set to the correct tramming position.
• If one or more of the following conditions are needed for fault-finding or other work, at
least two people must be present. One person must be within the reach of an emer-
gency stop while having a good overview of the work being done.
– The motors or engines are switched on.
– The hydraulic pumps are activated.
– The hydraulic, pneumatic, or water systems are pressurized.
– The electric power is switched on.
4 Safety Functions
NOTICE
Risk of Machine Damage
Incorrect use of the emergency stops can cause technical problems and damage to the
machine and related equipment.
u Only use the emergency stops in hazardous situations or when a hazardous situation is
likely to occur.
• If a hose ruptures or any other dangerous situation occurs, immediately activate the
emergency stop to turn off the diesel engine and automatically turn off the hydraulic
pumps.
C Reset button
! NOTE: Only reset the emergency stop if it is safe to start the machine or resume work.
1. If the emergency stop is a knob, turn the pressed emergency stop in the direction of
the arrows. This action causes the button to release. For a non-rotational button
without directional arrows, pull the emergency button that has been activated.
4.2 Guard
The guard is a steel structure that is installed on the feed. The guard provides increased
safety when the machine is in operation.
The following applies for machines that are equipped with a guard:
• The guard must be closed during drilling.
• The machine must be switched off before the guard is opened for maintenance or for
any other type of work.
• The hatch must be locked in the open position when the guard is opened.
• The guard does not affect the operating procedures of the machine.
! NOTE: The seat belt must always be worn to provide full ROPS protection.
• If the FOPS or ROPS construction is damaged, contact the Epiroc local customer cen-
ter before starting any repairs.
• Do not modify the FOPS or ROPS construction. Modifications like welding, drill holes,
cutting, or installation of tools on the FOPS or ROPS structures, invalidate the FOPS
and ROPS certification and reduce operator protection.
• Do not add attachments that cause the total weight of the machine to exceed the total
gross weight displayed on the FOPS and ROPS label.
• Do not modify the roof grille, as it is part of the FOPS. Modifications invalidate the
FOPS certification and reduce operator protection.
• Machines with a low cab, only for seated operators, are FOPS approved for the seated
operator.
• The FOPS and ROPS data plate is located inside the cab.
NOTE: The machine is equipped with designated locations for fire extinguishers. The
! owner of the machine is responsible for equipping the machine with approved fire extin-
guishers.
NOTE: A fire extinguisher can only be used once. After a fire extinguisher has been
used, it must be replaced with a new fire extinguisher or an authorized service techni-
! cian must recharge it. It does not matter how much or how little extinguishant that is
used. The fire extinguisher that has been used must be handled according to local laws
and regulations. It is important to follow the instructions on the fire extinguisher always.
NOTE: A fire extinguisher whose gauge indicator is outside of the green zone or whose
seal is broken must be replaced with a new fire extinguisher. Thus, it is important to
! check so that the gauge indicator is in the green zone and that the seal is intact regu-
larly.
Example of a Fire Extinguisher with the Gauge Indicator in the Green Zone
Different types of fires require different types of extinguishants, which is the reason why
handheld fire extinguishers are divided into different fire classes.
The machine is equipped with designated locations for the fire extinguishers. It is important
to put only portable fire extinguishers that are approved and in accordance with local laws
and regulations at the designated locations. For example, in the EU, the fire extinguishers
must be approved according to the European standard EN 3. It is preferable to equip the
machine with a fire extinguisher of a high efficiency class. For example, 43A 233B C or
higher. The efficiency class is a measurement of how large fire that can be extinguished.
43A 233B C means that the fire extinguisher has a capacity to extinguish a class A fire of
size 43, a class B fire of size 233, or a class C fire. The higher the number of the efficiency
class, the larger the fire can be extinguished.
Powder extinguishers are the most common extinguishers that are used. They are easy to
use and can be used on most fires. The powder extinguishant is a collection of salt. The
powder is finely ground so that it can penetrate into all spaces. The powder does not con-
duct electricity. Powder extinguishers range in size 5–7 m (16.40–22.97 ft) and the wind
conditions affect the performance. Powder extinguishers are available in the following
mass sizes:
• 2 kg (4.41 lb)
• 4 kg (8.82 lb)
• 6 kg (13.23 lb)
• 9 kg (19.84 lb)
• 12 kg (26.46 lb)
The duration of operation varies 10–15 seconds for one powder extinguisher of 2 kg (4.41
lb) to 25–30 seconds for one powder extinguisher of 12 kg (26.46 lb). A powder extin-
guisher can work for up to 15 years if it is placed at a dry location and checked regularly, at
least once a year.
1. Use a handheld fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire. Follow the manufacturer in-
structions.
2. Do the following steps only if this does not jeopardize personal safety:
a. Turn off the main power switch and the battery isolation switch, or whichever is
present on the machine.
NOTE: Restart the machine only when the cause of the fire
! has been established and the faults have been corrected.
NOTE: Start the machine only when the cause of the fire has been established and all
! faults have been corrected.
1. Replace the used fire extinguishers with new and approved extinguishers.
The hammer that is provided in the cab is used to shatter the rear window to create an
emergency exit if the cab door is blocked.
Use the belt cutter (A) to cut off the seat belt if it cannot be released in the usual manner.
5 Warning Signals
The warning beacon on the roof of the cab can be set to flash during one of the following
three situations:
• The ignition is on.
• The machine is in tramming mode.
• During tramming
The setting is made in the Rig Control System (RCS).

EN 16228-2 based on the basic standards ISO 3747, ISO 11201, and ISO 11203 (Q=20
close to machine, free field, remote control, service) and ISO 2631-1.
Dual Number: When combined, the declared noise emission values are the sum of mea-
sured values and uncertainty. They represent an upper limit of the range, in which mea-
sured values are likely to be included.
Single Values: The sum of a measured value and of the associated uncertainty represents
an upper limit of the range, in which measured values are likely to be included.
The sound power is equivalent to the guaranteed sound power level referred to in 2000/14/
EC for machines intended only for surface applications.
The noise emission values have been declared using EN 4871.
• Make sure that earplugs are placed in the ear canals correctly to create a tight seal. In-
correct sizing of ear plugs reduces the damping effect.
• Do regular maintenance of the door and cab seals, insulation, and mufflers.
• Work with a closed cab door and closed windows.
