Electrical Safety - ATIKA BH 800 N Notice Originale

 ear protection (Sound intensity level at workplace can
exceed 85 dB (A))
 Dust mask with work activities generating dust
 Wear suitable work clothes:
 do not wear loose-fitting clothes or jewellery; they can
catch in moving parts.
 Solid shoes or boots with a nonskid sole
 Trousers to protect the legs
 Hairnet in case of long hair
 Do not work with the device barfooted or only with thongs
on your feet.
 Take into consideration environmental influences:
 Do not use the device in moist or wet ambience.
 Do not expose the device to rain.
 Do not work directly near swimming pools or garden
ponds
 Do only work with sufficient visibility conditions. Provide
for good illumination.
 Do not operate the device when the ground is wet, if
possible.
 Before working, remove all foreign objects (e.g. stones,
branches, wires, etc.). While working watch out for further
foreign objects.
 If you come across to foreign objects, power off the device,
disconnect the mains plug and remove those foreign
objects. However before you restart the device, check it for
possible damages and have it repaired if necessary.
 Do not overload the device! You work better and safer in the
given performance range.
 Only operate the machine with complete and correctly
attached safety equipment (e.g. blade guard) and do not
alter anything on the machine that could impair the safety.
 Do not modify the device or parts of the device respectively.
 Before turning on the motor, make sure that your feet are at
a safe distance from the cutting tools.
 Never keep hands or feet close to or under rotating parts.
Keep away from the ejection slot.
 Work very careful on difficult soils (stony, hard, etc.).
Reduce the working speed and firmly hold the machine.
 Pay attention to sure footing especially when working on
slopes or on wet ground and keep your balance at all times.
Guide the device only a walking speed.
 Do not work on steep slopes.
 When working on slopes, always work perpendicular to the
slope and never up and down.
 Be especially careful when changing the operating direction
on a slope.
 Observe the safety distance given by the handle bar.
 Always push the device forward while it is operating. Do not
pull it to yourself or behind you.
 While the motor is running, do not
 lift or carry the device about
 Caution! The tool runs after. Do not try to slow down the tool
by hand.
 Make sure that the protective cover is properly attached.
 Turn off the device and wait until the tools are stationary
when:
 tilting the device
 crossing hard ground
 transporting the device to and from the work area
16
 Switch the machine off and remove the mains plug from the
socket when
 carrying out repair works
 maintenance and cleaning
 removing malfunctions and blockages
 transport and storage
 leaving unattended (even during short interruptions)
 when the device begins to exhibit unusual vibrations
 when you have hit an obstacle with the device.
 Do not wash down device with water. (origin of danger
electric current).
 Store unused equipment in a dry, locked place out of the
reach of children.
 Check the machine for possible damage:
 Before continuing to use the machine, the protective
devices must be inspected to ensure that they work
perfectly and with their intended function.
 Check whether movable parts function perfectly and do
not stick or whether parts are damaged. All parts must
be correctly installed and fulfil all conditions to ensure
perfect operation.
 Damaged guards and parts must be properly repaired or
exchanged by a recognized, specialist workshop; insofar
as nothing else is stated in the instructions for use.
 Damaged or illegible safety warning labels should be
replaced immediately.
 Maintain your device with care:
 Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight.
 Make sure that the ventilation apertures are free.
 Keep handles free of oils and grease.
 Follow the maintenance instructions.

Electrical safety

 Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60245 (H
07 RN-F) with a core cross-profile section of at least
- 1.5 mm² for cable lengths up to 25 m
- 2.5 mm for cable lengths over 25 m
2
 Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop.
The motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the
function of the device is reduced.
 Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be
made of rubber, non-rigid PVC or other thermoplastic
material of same mechanical stability or be covered with this
material.
 The connector of the connection cable must be splash-
proof.
 When running the connection line observe that it does not
interfere, is not squeezed, bended and the plug connection
does not get wet.
 Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum.
 Do not drive the device across the extension cable. Make
sure that it is behind you in a secure position. Place the
cable on a path or area that has already been worked.
 Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not meant.
Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not
use the cable to pull the plug from the socket.
