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.
2.3. SAFETY IN THE WORK AREA
Do not operate this machine in explosive
atmospheres as well as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases and dust.
Do not start the machine in a room
or enclosure. The exhaust fumes and
fuel fumes contain carbon monoxide
and harmful chemicals. In case of a
concentration of gases produced by poor ventilation,
remove all that impedes the flow of clean air from the
work area to improve ventilation and do not return to
work in the area unless you have correctly ventilated
the area and are certain that ventilation is sufficient as
to not happen again this concentration.
The area within a radius of 15 meters
around the machine should be considered
risk area in which no one must enter while
the machine is running (Security Area). When necessary,
use ropes and warning signs to mark the Security Area.
Maintain children and curious persons away from the
work area while operating this machine. Distractions
can cause a loss of control. Make sure that children,
people or animals do not come into your work area
When the work must be performed simultaneously
by two or more persons, always check the presence
and location of others in order to maintain a sufficient
distance between each person to ensure safety.
Do not use this machine at night, with fog or low
visibility which will not allow you to see the working
area clearly.
Keep the work area clean and work with good lighting.
Only use this machine with daylight or with good
artificial light. Cluttered and dark areas cause
accidents. Inspect and remove any objects that can
cause damage to you or the machine.
Do not use this machine in areas where there is wiring
or underground pipes. Inspect your work area and
remove all stones, wood, wire, and foreign objects that
may be dismissed by the cutting tool.
2.4. SAFETY IN THE USE OF FUELS
IMPORTANT: The fuel used for this machine
is highly flammable. If the fuel or the
machine ignites, smother the fire with a dry
powder fire extinguisher.
Petrol and oil are hazardous; avoid contact
of gasoline or oil with the skin and eyes. Do
not inhale or swallow them. Immediately
see your doctor if you ingest fuel or oil. If they come
into contact with fuel or oil clean with soap and water
as soon as possible, if you then continue to feel
irritated skin or eyes immediately consult a doctor.
Do not refuel fuel in closed or poorly ventilated
places. Fumes from the fuel and oil contain hazardous
chemicals. In the case of a concentration of gases
produced by insufficient ventilation, remove all that
impedes the flow of clean air from the area in order to
improve ventilation. Do not return to the area unless
