Always maintain proper foot support and run the
machine only when standing on a fixed surface, safe
and stable. Or unstable sliding surfaces may cause
loss of balance or control of the machine.
Always use the machine with both hands.
If the machine vibrates abnormally stop the engine,
inspect the machine looking for the possible cause
and repair. If you don't find the reason take your
machine at your service.
When transporting the machine, take it with hands
on the handles, with the engine stopped, and at a
distance from your body parts.
Store the machine well away from children.
Never use the machine if the protections are defective
or without all security devices in proper working order.
Do not modify the machine controls or the engine
speed.
2.2.1.WORKING CLOTHES AND SECURITY
EQUIPMENT
Dress adequately. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewels. Maintain your hair, clothes and gloves well
away from all moving parts.
When using this tool wear the next safety equipment:
-
Security glases or protective mask.
-
Ear protection.
-
Working gloves.
-
Non slippery boots.
-
Long trousers.
The use of additional working and 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 always carry:
• Tooling
• Signalling tape to limit work area.
• Mobile phone (for use 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
• 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.
