Intended use

The product you have bought is approved for use exclu-
sively as follows:
- Correct clearing of snow in private roadways, entranc-
es and car parks, as long as these are not subject to
the General Traffic Regulations (for example public
footpaths or vehicle entrances. For this it may be nec-
essary to apply for a permit from the state authority
responsible).
- The material to be cleared is fresh snow only. Misuse
with regard to other materials is explicitly forbidden
and can in no way be the subject of complaint or claim
regarding personal injury or damage.

Residual risks

Even if the device is used properly, a residual risk that
cannot be eliminated persists. Due to the type and design
of the device, the following potential dangers may result:
- Contact with blown snow
- Reaching into the running blower (cutting injuries)
- Unforeseen, sudden movement of the snow blower
(cutting injuries)
- Ejection of parts of the cutting roller
- Ejection of objects in the snow
- Hearing damage if suitable hearing protection is not
worn.
• The specified vibration emission value can vary during
the actual use of the electric tool by specifying the val-
ue, depending on the way how to use the power tool.
• Note: You create the privilege against vascular pulsa-
tions of the hands in time breaks.
• Try to keep the stress due to vibration as low as
possible. For example, measures to reduce vibra-
tion stress are wearing gloves when using the tool
and limiting the work time. All phase of the operating
cycle must be considered in this regard, (for example,
times when the power tool is switched off, and times
when the power tool is switched on but is not running
under load).
• A certain degree of noise from this device is unavoid-
able. Perform noise-intensive work at times when
this is permitted and at times intended for this type of
work. Where applicable, observe quiet times and limit
working time to the absolute minimum. You and other
persons in the area where the trimmer is being used
should wear suitable hearing protection.
Warning!
The prolonged utilisation of a tool will subject the user
to vibration and shocks that could lead to Raynaud's
syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome.
This condition reduces the ability of the hand to sense
and regulate temperature, causes numbness and a
sensation of heat and can lead to damage to the nervous
system and the circulatory system and to necrosis.
Not all factors that lead to Raynaud's syndrome are
known but cold water, smoking and illnesses that impact
the blood vessels and the circulatory system as well as
severe or long-lasting exposure to vibrations are known
to be factors in the development of Raynaud's syndrome.
GB | Operating Instruction
Observe the following in order to reduce the risk of
Raynaud's syndrome and Carpal tunnel syndrome:
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Make sure the device is well maintained. A tool with
loose components or with damaged or worn-out
dampers will have a disposition towards increased
vibrations.
• Always hold the handle firmly but do not clutch it con-
stantly with excessive force. Take breaks often.
All of the above precautions cannot exclude the risk of
Raynaud's syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome. There-
fore, with long-term or regular use it is advisable to keep
a close watch on the condition of your hands and fingers.
Seek medical attention immediately in the event of any of
the above symptoms appearing.
Make a work plan in order to limit the vibration stress.
