Residual Risks; Vibrations; Safety Instructions - ATIKA BH 800 N Notice Originale

 The machine may not be used in a potentially explosive
environment or be exposed to the rain.

Residual risks

Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the
relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety information" and
the "Intended usage" as well as the whole of the original
instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will
reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
 Risk injury of hands and feet if they come close to or under
the rotating parts.
 Risk of injury of fingers and hands during assembly and
cleaning activities on the blade drum.
 Stones and soil may be thrown off.
 Inhalation of dust (soil).
 Risk of injury by entangling and winding up roots, ropes,
wires or pieces of clothing when contacting the hoeing tools.
 Risk of serious injuries when operating the machine without
suited protective equipment.
 Risk of injury to the fingers and hands, when carrying out
assembly work and cleaning on the hoeing tools.
 Contact of the skin with operating substances (gasoline/oil)
 Risk of injury to the hands and feet when transporting the
unit.
 Noncompliance with safety instructions may result in injuries
of the operator or property damages.
 Danger resulting from electric current, if improper
connecting wires are used.
 Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
 Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.

Vibrations

(hand arm vibrations)
1.415 m/s²; K = 1.5 m/s²
Measuring uncertainty K = 1,5 m/s²
The indicated vibration emission level has been measured
according to a standardised test method and can be used to
compare power tools.
It can also be used for an initial estimate of the vibration
exposure.
The actual vibration emission level during the use of
the machine may differ from that indicated in the operating
instructions or indicated by the manufacturer.
This may be caused by the following factors to be minded
before and during the use:
- Proper use of the machine
- Correct operating of the machine
- Proper condition of the machine for use
-
Sharpness and correct assembly of the hoeing tools
- Proper assembly of the operating handles on the machine
body
When you feel uncomfortable or notice discoloration of skin on
your hands during the use of the machine, stop working
immediately. Observe sufficient break times to rest. Failure to
have sufficient break times may result in a hand-arm vibration
syndrome.
The extent of exposure depending on the type of work or
machine use should be estimated and appropriate breaks
taken. In this way, the extent of exposure can be considerably
reduced over the entire work time. Minimise the risk caused by
vibrations. Maintain this machine according to the instructions
in the manual.
Avoid the use of this machine at temperatures under 10°C.
Create a work schedule in order to minimise vibration exposure.
