Safety standards
During the early stages of the process of decommissioning and end of life treatment of Emax 2 circuit-
breakers, observe the following safety rules:
• the closing springs, even if unloaded, must never to be taken apart
• for handling and lifting of the circuit-breakers refer to the section "Unpacking and handling" on page 10 .
HAZARD! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Unplug or disconnect any power supply, to avoid any
potential risk of shock during removal of the circuit-breaker from the service.
WARNING! After dismantling the switchgear, the circuit-breaker must be stored in the open
position with the closing springs unloaded and with the front escutcheon plate mounted.
Qualified personnel
