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.
Due to the nature and construction of the tool, the following potential hazards can
be derived:
• Inhalation of dust (soil)
• Contact of the skin with operating substances (gasoline/oil)
• Noncompliance with safety instructions may result in injuries of the operator or
property damages.
• Risk of serious injuries when operating the machine without suited protective equipment.
• Risk of injury by entangling and winding up ropes, wires or pieces of clothing when
contacting the auger.
• Risk of injury by kickback of the handles when the auger suddenly stops.
• Risk of electric shock when touching the spark plug connector while the engine runs.
• Risk of thrown out object, e.g. stones.
• Risk of burns when touching hot parts.
• Carbon monoxide poisioning when using the product in closed or poorly ventilated
rooms.
• Risk of fire and explosion by highly inflammable fuel, e.g. during fuelling.
• Physical impairment by vibrations when working with the machine over a longer period
of time.
• Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for longer periods of time without
ear protection.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken, non-obvious residual
risks can still exist.
