Scheppach MR196- 61 Traducción De Las Instrucciones Originales De Funcionamiento página 39

The following must not use the machine:
Children, persons with impaired physical, sensory
or mental faculties or those lacking the appropriate
experience, or persons who are not familiar with the
instructions, must never be allowed to use the ma-
chine.
Never allow children under the age of 16 to use the
machine. Local regulations may specify a minimum
age for users.
The machine must only be operated by persons who
are well rested and in good physical and mental con-
dition. If your health is impaired, you should consult
your doctor to determine whether working with the
machine is possible. The machine should not be
operated after the consumption of alcohol, drugs or
medications which impair reactions.
m Safety of personnel
Caution! Danger to health due to vibrations.
Excessive exposure to vibrations can result in dam-
age to the cardiovascular or nervous system, particu-
larly in persons with cardiovascular problems. Please
consult a physician if you experience symptoms that
may have been caused by vibrational loads.
Symptoms of this kind principally affect the fingers,
hands or wrists and include
• numbness,
• pain,
• muscular weakness,
• skin discolouration,
• unpleasant tingling sensation.
Hold the handlebar tightly, but not tensed, with both
hands in the designated locations during operation.
Plan your working times so that more severe physical
strains over a longer period are avoided.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electromag-
netic field during operation. This field can impair ac-
tive or passive medical implants under certain condi-
tions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly
injuries, we recommend that persons with medical
implants consult with their physician and the manu-
facturer of the medical implant prior to operating the
electric tool.
Clothing and equipment
Always wear sturdy footwear with high-grip soles
when working. Never work barefoot or, for example,
in sandals.
Always wear long trousers and tight-fitting clothing
when operating the machine.

Never wear loose clothes which may become caught
on moving parts (control levers) – do not wear jewel-
lery, ties or scarves.
Also always wear sturdy gloves and tie up and se-
cure long hair (headscarf, cap, etc.) when performing
maintenance and cleaning work or when transporting
the machine.
Wear suitable safety glasses when sharpening the
mowing blade.
Working with your machine
Never work in the vicinity of other persons, particular-
ly children, or animals. Ensure that the grass is never
discharged in the direction of other persons.
Do not operate the machine in the rain or during thun-
der storms, particularly when there is a risk of light-
ning strike.
Exhaust gases:
Danger to life through poisoning!
In the case of nausea, headache, impaired vision
(e.g. decreasing field of view) hearing disorder, dizzi-
ness, decreasing power of concentration, stop work-
ing immediately. These symptoms may be caused by
excessively high exhaust gas concentrations.
The machine generates poisonous exhaust gases
when the engine is running. The gases contain poi-
sonous carbon monoxide, a colourless and odourless
gas, as well as other pollutants. The engine must nev-
er be operated in closed or poorly ventilated spaces.
The engine exhaust is released into the air in front of
the left rear wheel. When working with the machine,
ensure that this area is always kept clean and is never
covered in order to prevent the accumulation of ex-
haust gasses.
m Workplace safety
Carefully inspect the complete area on which the ma-
chine is to be used and remove any stones, sticks,
wires, bones and other foreign objects which could
be thrown up by the machine. Obstacles (e.g. tree
stumps, roots) can be easily overlooked in long grass.
For this reason, mark all foreign objects (obstacles)
which are hidden in the lawn and cannot be removed
before commencing work with the machine.
Beware of depressions (holes) in the terrain and oth-
er invisible points of danger. Obstacles can be easily
overlooked in long grass.
