FUXTEC BV240 ECO Manuel D'instructions page 35

Be prepared! Have at least one of the following things at hand:
- a suitable fire extinguisher (dry powder)
- a fully equipped first-aid kit, easily accessible to the machine operator and accompanying person.
It should contain good dressings for lacerations/ cuts.
- a cell phone or other device to quickly call for emergency service.
Do not work alone. There must be another person nearby who is familiar with the
basics of first aid.
The accompanying person must maintain a safe distance from your workplace, but
must also be able to see you all the time! Work only in places where you can quickly call the
emergency services!
1. In the event of an injury, always follow the basic principles of first aid.
2. If someone has cut themselves, cover the wound with a clean cloth and press it firmly onto the
wound to stop the blood flow.
3. Do not allow gasoline or oil to come into contact with the skin. Keep gasoline and oil away from
the eyes. If gasoline or oil comes in contact with the eyes, wash them immediately with clean
water. If the irritation is still present, consult a doctor immediately.
4. Persons with poor blood circulation, who are exposed to extreme vibrations, may suffer from
injuries to blood vessels or the nervous system. Vibration may cause the following symptoms in
the fingers, hands, or wrists: "falling asleep" (numbness), tingling, pain, irritation, prickly sensation,
change in skin color or skin. If any of these symptoms occur, also consult a doctor immediately.
Safety has priority in case of fire:
5. If a fire comes from the engine or smoke escapes from a location other than the exhaust system,
first move away from the device to ensure your physical safety.
6. Use a dry powder fire extinguisher to prevent the fire from spreading.
7. A panic reaction could cause the fire and other damage to take on an even greater scale.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1. Make sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws are tightened and that the device is in a safe operating
condition.
2. Check the catcher regularly for signs of wear and tear and functional impairments.
3. Remember that on devices with gearwheels, the movement of one gearwheel can cause the
other gearwheels to start rotating with it.
4. When adjusting the device, be careful not to get your fingers caught between moving teeth and
rigid parts of the device.
5. When performing maintenance on the teeth, be aware that the teeth can still move even when the
engine is switched off.
6. For your safety, worn or damaged parts should be replaced immediately. Use only original spare
parts and original accessories.
7. Store the device in a place out of reach of children.
8. Never store the machine with gasoline in the tank inside a building where vapors can cause a
naked flame or spark.
9. Let the engine cool down before storing it in any enclosure.
10. To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment, and fuel storage
compartment free of grass, straw, moss, leaves, or excess grease.
11. If it is necessary to empty the fuel tank, do so outdoors. The emptied fuel should be stored in a
container specially designed for fuel storage or disposed of properly.
