DANGER
Prolonged exposure to
vibrations can cause injuries and
neurovascular disorders (also
called "Raynaud's syndrome"
or "white hand"), especially to
people suffering from circulation
disorders. The symptoms can
regard the hands, wrists and
fingers and are shown through
loss of sensitivity, torpor,
itching, pain and discolouring
of or structural changes to
the skin. These effects can
be worsened by low ambient
temperatures and/or by gripping
the hand grips excessively
tightly. If the symptoms occur,
the length of time the machine
is used must be reduced
and a doctor consulted.
Restrictions of use
• Do not use the machine if
you are unable to hold it with
both hands or keep steady
on your legs while working.
• Never use the machine
with damaged, missing or
incorrectly positioned guards.
• Don't use the machine if
the attachments/tools are
not installed in their seats.
• Never disengage, deactivate,
remove or tamper with
the safety systems/micro
switches installed.
• Do not use the power tool
if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Do not strain the machine
too much and do not use a
small machine for heavy-
duty work; if you use the right
machine, you will reduce the
risk of hazards and improve
the quality of your work.
2.5 MAINTENANCE,
STORAGE
Ensure regular maintenance
and correct storage to
maintain machine safety and
high performance levels.
Maintenance
• Never use the machine with
worn or damaged parts.
Faulty or worn-out parts
must always be replaced
and never repaired.
•
Be careful during adjustment
of the machine
entrapment of the fingers
between moving parts of
the cutting means and fixed
parts of the machine.
DANGER
The noise and vibration levels
shown in these instructions
are the maximum levels when
using the machine. The use
of an unbalanced cutting
element, the excessive speed
of movement, or the absence of
maintenance have a significant
influence on noise emissions
and vibrations. Consequently, it
is necessary to take preventive
steps to eliminate possible
damage due to high levels of
noise and stress from vibration;
maintain the machine well, wear
ear protection devices, and
take breaks whilst working.
Storage
To reduce fire risks, do
not leave containers with
debris inside a room.
