2.3 DURING OPERATION
Work area
1. Do not use the machine
in environments that pose
the risk of explosion, in the
presence of flammable liquids,
gases or powders. Power
tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
2. Work only in daylight
or with good artificial light in
good visibility conditions.
3. Keep people, children
and animals away from the
work area. Children must
be supervised by another
adult. Children shall not
play with the appliance.
4. Check that there is
nobody within at least 15
metres of the machine's
range of action.
5. Avoid working
with wet grass, in the
rain and when there is a
risk of a thunderstorm,
especially lightening.
6. Where possible, avoid
working on wet, slippery
ground or on uneven or steep
ground that does not guarantee
stability for the operator.
7. Do not expose the
machine to rain or wet
environments. Water entering
a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
8. Pay careful attention
to uneven ground (hills,
dips), slopes, hidden
hazards and obstacles
that could limit visibility.
9. Be very careful
near ravines, ditches
or embankments.
10. Look out for traffic
when using the machine
near the road.
11. Always assess
wind direction and never
work against the wind.
12. Do not use of the
machine near open windows.
13. Do not use the
machine on paved or
gravel-covered surfaces,
to avoid that the removed
material causes injuries.
14. Do not allow processed
material to build up in the
discharge zone; this may
prevent proper discharge
and can result in kickback
of material through the
intake opening.
Conduct
1. When performing work
utilising the machine as blower,
the machine must always
be held firmly with the right
hand on the upper handgrip.
2. Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
3. Always use caution
and take on a firm and
well-balanced position.
4. Do not lose your balance.
5. Make sure to avoid violent
impacts against foreign bodies
and prevent the air low from
throwing any material and dust.
6. Do not direct the air jet
towards persons or animals.
7. When used as a blower
always pay the utmost attention
to prevent removed material
or dust from injuring people or
animals or damaging property.
