Maintenance, Storage - ST BL 20 Li S Manual Del Usuario

• Never run, always walk.
• Make sure to avoid violent impacts against
foreign bodies and prevent the air flow
from throwing any material and dust.
• Do not direct the air jet towards
persons or animals.
• When used as a blower always pay the
utmost attention to prevent removed
material or dust from injuring people
or animals or damaging property.
• Never insert objects into the
vacuum inlet (when being used as
vacuum collector, if foreseen).
• Avoid the intake of pieces of metal, rocks,
bottles, cans, other foreign obejcts and large
objects that could damage the rotor (when
being used as vacuum collector, if foreseen).
• Never stand at a higher level than the
base of the machine when feeding
material into it (when being used as
vacuum collector, if foreseen).
• Always keep your face, hands, and body
away from the intake grille and air outlet
and do not obstruct the airways both when
starting and utilising the machine.
• The rotating parts can cause serious
injuries; avoid contact with these
parts whilst they are still rotating.
If something breaks or an accident occurs
during work, turn off the motor immediately
and move the machine away to prevent further
damage; if an accident occurs with injuries
or third parties are injured, carry out the first
aid measures most suitable for the situation
immediately and contact the medical authorities
for any necessary health care. Carefully
remove any debris which could cause damage
or injury to persons or animals if ignored.
Prolonged exposure to vibrations can
cause injuries and neurovascular disorders
(also called "Raynaud's syndrome" or "white
finger"), 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 whilst working.
• Never use the machine with damaged,
missing or incorrectly positioned guards.
• Never use the machine without having
installed all the attachments required for
each use (as blower or vacuum collector).
• 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.

2.4 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.
Use original replacement parts only.
The noise and vibration levels shown
in these instructions are the maximum levels
for use of the machine. Suitable preventive
measures must be adopted to eliminate
possible harm caused by high noise levels and
vibration-induced stresses; utilise the machine
at constant speed, firmly hold the handgrip with
adequate strength, utilise the machine at the
minimum speed required to perform the work,
wear ear-protection devices, make frequent
and adequate pauses during the work.
Storage
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave
containers with debris inside a room.
2.5 BATTERY / BATTERY CHARGER
IMPORTANT The following safety
instructions are in addition to the
safety requirements provided in the
specific battery and battery charger
manual delivered with this machine.
• Only use battery chargers recommended
by the manufacturer to recharge batteries.
An inadequate battery charger may
cause electric shock, overheating or
corrosive liquid to leak from the battery.
