immediately and move the machine away
to prevent further damage; if an accident
occurs with injuries or third parties are
injured, carry out the first aid measures
most suitable for the situation immediately
and contact the medical authorities for any
necessary health care. Carefully remove
any debris which could cause damage or
injury to persons or animals if ignored.
Use limitations
• Never use the machine with damaged,
missing or incorrectly positioned guards.
• Never disengage, deactivate, remove
or tamper with the safety systems/
micro switches installed.
2.4 MAINTENANCE, STORAGE
AND TRANSPORT
Ensure regular maintenance and correct
storage to maintain machine safety
and high performance levels.
Never use the machine with worn
or damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts
must always be replaced and never repaired.
Use original replacement parts only: the
use of non-original and/or incorrectly
fitted parts will jeopardise the safety of the
machine, may cause accidents or personal
injuries for which the Manufacturer is under
no circumstance liable or responsible.
Maintenance
• Be careful during adjustment of the
machine to prevent entrapment of the
fingers between moving parts of the cutting
means and fixed parts of the machine.
Storage
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave
containers with debris inside a room.
Handling and Transportation
• If the machine must be transported
on a truck or trailer, use ramps with
suitable resistance, width and length.
• When transporting the machine
on a vehicle, always:
– load the machine pushed by an
adequate number of people
– position it so that it can not cause
a hazard for anybody
– fasten firmly to the means of transport
using ropes or chains to prevent it
from tipping over causing damage
2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant
and priority aspect of machine use, of benefit to
the community and the environment we live in.
• Avoid being a disturbance to the
neighbourhood. Use this machine at
reasonable times of the day only (not
early morning or late evening when the
noise could cause disturbance).
• Adhere strictly to the local regulations
governing the disposal of packaging, oil,
fuel, filters, damaged parts or any other
element which may have an impact on
the environment; this waste should not be
disposed of along with standard household
waste, but must be disposed of separately
and sent to special waste disposal
facilities for handling and recycling.
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
do not dispose of it in the environment,
but take it to a waste disposal facility in
accordance with the local regulations in force.
