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
- Ensure that the cutting device is always sharp.
- 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. SECURITY IN THE WORKPLACE
Do not work with the machine in areas with an
explosive atmosphere or near inflammable liquids,
gases or dust.
Do not start the machine in a closed area. The exhaust
fumes and the vapours of the petrol all contain carbon
monoxide and other dangerous chemical substances.
In case of gas concentration due to insufficient
ventilation, eliminate from the work area everything
that impedes the correct flow of air and do not work
in this area again until it is well ventilated and the gas
concentration does not happen again.
The area included in a 15m radius around the
machine must be considered risk zone and nobody
should be there while the machine is working and,
when necessary, a cord and warning signals must be
used around the working area
Maintain children and passers-by well clear when
working with the machine. Distractions can cause a
lack of control.
