Always use resistant shoes and long trousers.
When using this machine make use of the
following equipment:
• Security glasses or protective mask.
• Ear protection.
• Working gloves.
• Non slippery boots.
We recommend you use long trousers to reduce risk
of personal injury should any projectile be hurled by
any moving part of the machine.
The correct use of security equipment will reduce the
risk of personal injury.
The noise of the machine is uncomfortable.
Always use ear protection. If you use this machine
very often, visit your doctor regularly to check up on
your hearing capacity.
Attention! As you are working with ear protectors,
you must pay more attention to visual warnings as you
will hear less because of the ear protectors.
You must carry with you:
• Tooling.
• Signalling tape to limit work area.
• Mobile phone (in case of an emergency).
2.2.2. VIBRATIONS
The prolonged use of the machine, exposes the
client to vibrations that in extreme cases and through
many hours of use of the machine could cause the
¨white finger syndrome¨ also known as Raynaud
phenomenon. This causes a reduction in the tact of
the fingers and their capacity to regulate temperature
generating a lack of sensibility. This sickness could
in extreme cases cause problems with the nerve
endings.
The exposure to the vibrations is the cause of the white
finger syndrome. To minimise this effect as much as
possible, follow the following recommendations:
• Always use gloves
• Always have your hands warm
• Ensure that the cutting device is always sharp.
• Take frequent breaks
• Always hold the machine tightly by the handles
If you detect any of the symptoms of the white finger
syndrome, consult immediately with your doctor.
2.3. WORKING AREA SECURITY
Do not use the machine in explosive
atmospheres or in the presence of
inflammable liquids, gases and powders.
Never start up the machine in closed areas such as
rooms and garages. This machine expels dangerous
gases through the exhaust that will accumulate in the
area and since they are toxic, they could represent a
danger to the end user, to other people, animals and
plants that are indoors.
Do not start the machine in a closed area.
The exhaust fumes and the vapours of the
petrol all contain carbon monoxide and
other dangerous chemical substances. In case of gas
concentration due to insufficient ventilation, eliminate
from the work area everything that impedes the
correct flow of air and do not work in this area again
until it is well ventilated and the gas concentration
does not happen again.
Maintain children, other people and
animals well clear of the machine whilst
working. Distractions can cause the loss of
control. Be vigilant and stop any children, other people
and animals coming into the working area.
