4.12 SAFETY DEVICES APPLIED TO THE PRODUCT
The product is equipped with the following safety devices.
FIXED GUARD
DEVICE AGAINST ELECTRICAL OVERLOAD
4.12.1 FIXED GUARDS
Fixed protections consist of fixed guards and/or casings installed on the product, whose function is to prevent
access to internal parts or moving parts during the operating cycle. With the exclusion of the tool area (e.g.
cutting blade/ harvesting head/ chain, etc.) where it is not possible to have guards because of the specific
functionality of the equipment.
Placed in restricted access areas during maintenance, they require specific tools for their removal.
Fixed protections are the protective shells of the product's mechanics.
DANGER
It is absolutely forbidden to operate the product, following maintenance, without properly reinstalling the
fixed guards, as well as to use it without them.
It is strictly forbidden to tamper with the product by attempting, by any means, to circumvent a fixed
protection by taking advantage of possible indirect passages due to but failed or partial repositioning of
protections or where all fixing screws have not been repositioned as originally intended by the
manufacturer.
NOTE
Periodically check the integrity of the fixed guards and their fixings, paying particular attention to the
access guards to the product mechanics.
4.12.2
DEVICE AGAINST ELECTRICAL OVERLOAD
The product is equipped with a fuse used to protect electrical circuits from current overloads.
The function of the fuse is to interrupt the electric current in the circuit if it exceeds the permitted, pre-determined
limit.
A 15 A blade fuse is mounted on the tool and is BLUE in colour.
Current overloads can result from malfunctions in tool operation or faults that cause short circuits.
CAUTION
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or jumpering the electrical circuit without fuses can lead to fire
and serious injury.
Never install fuses with a higher amperage than prescribed. A defective/broken fuse must be
•
replaced with one with the same amperage (same colour and lettering) and the same size.
Never try to repair fuses.
•
Never replace a fuse with a metal strip, clip or similar object.
