Remaining Risk Factors - Zipper Maschinen ZI-GPS182J Manuel D'utilisation

11.3 Remaining risk factors

Even if the machine is used as required it is still impossible to eliminate certain residual risk factors
totally. The following hazards may arise in connection with the machine´s construction and design:
 Risk of injury due to noise:
Working for a long time can damage your hearing if you do not have a very good hearing protection.
 Risk of injury due to the working area:
Solid objects, stones, metal parts, or the like can be thrown out!
 Risk to the hands or fingers:
Do not grab in the cutting tool while it is rotating.
 Risk of injury due to pick up and roll up:
Wires and cords can be detected by the cutting tool and can damage the machine and can cause injuries. Unplug
battery and safety switch (if equipped) before removing the deposits!
 Risk of burns:
Touching the mufflers, exhaust and other machine components which can be hot after prolonged continuous
operation or when the engine is hot cause severe burns.
 Risk of fire and explosion:
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
NEVER refuel fuel or engine oil while the machine is in operation or is hot.
When refueling and at places where fuel is stored not smoke or allow open flames or sparks.
Do not overfill the fuel tank and avoid the spillage of gasoline during refueling. If fuel is spilled make sure the
area is completely dry and cleaned before starting the engine.
Make sure that the filler cap is tightly closed again after refueling safely.
 Chemical risks:
Never use or refuel a gasoline or diesel engine in a closed area without adequate ventilation.
Carbon monoxide emissions from the internal drive units of the engine can cause in confined spaces through
inhalation health effects and death. Therefore use the machine only in well-ventilated rooms or outdoors in
operation.
Liquid fuels can cause serious damage on the skin and the environment.
 Vibration:
The declared vibration emission value has been for a standardized test is measured and can be used to
compare one tool with another electric are. The declared vibration emission value may also be used for a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning:
Emission level of vibration can be different from the specified value during the actual use of the electric tool,
depending on the manner in which the power tool is used. 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.
Minimize the risk caused by vibrations. Maintain this machine according to the instructions in the manual.
 Kickback:
When working with metal cutting blades, it can, if fixed objects (trees, branches, stones, or the like) are
involved, come to a check of the entire unit or to an abrupt train forward.
This check occurs suddenly without warning and can lead to loss of control of the unit and endanger the user
and bystanders.
Special Threatened in poor visibility areas and dense vegetation.
