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 advices" and the
"Intended usage" as well as the whole of the operating instructions are
observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will reduce the
risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
 Risk of injury of hands and feet when coming near or under the
vibratory plate.
 Carbon monoxide poisioning when using the product in closed or
poorly ventilated rooms.
 Inhalation of dust (soil) and engine exhaust.
 Contact of the skin with operating substances (petrol/oil)
 Risk of electric shock when touching the spark plug connector
while the engine runs.
 Risk of burns when touching hot parts.
 Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for longer
periods of time without ear protection.
 Physical effects, especially of the hands, from vibration during
prolonged work
 Risk of serious injuries when operating the machine without
suitable protective equipment.
 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.
In addition, in spite of all precautionary measures taken, residual risks
that are not obvious may still exist.
Vibrations
(hand arm vibrations)
Hand arm vibration: 10.8 m/s²;
Measuring uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²
Warning!
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 use:
- The hardness of the substrate to be worked
- Proper use of the machine
- Proper condition of the machine for use
When you feel uncomfortable or notice discoloration of skin on your
hands during 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.
