The noise caused by this machine can cause
hearing damage. Use auditory protection. If you
regularly work with this machine, visit your doctor
frequently to check your hearing ability.
Warning! When working with auditory protection,
you must pay more attention to visual signs as the
auditory senses will be weaker.
Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts. We recommend that
you wear long pants and gloves to reduce the risk of
bodily harm from the projection of objects or debris.
If the machine vibrates abnormally, stop the engine,
inspect the machine and look for the possible cause
and repair. If you cannot find the cause of the problem
take the machine to the service technician.
If you need to remove material that has entered the
blower ducts, shut off the engine before performing
this operation.
Be careful not to get your fingers or any other part of
your body inside or near the area of the fan blowing
machine.
2.3. VIBRATIONS
Prolonged use of this machine exposes user to
vibrations. It can lead to the "white fingers" disease
(Raynaud's Phenomenon). This disease reduces
the hand's sense of touch and the ability to adjust
the temperature, creating a lack of sensitivity in the
fingers and a burning sensation. This disease can
cause nerve and circulation problems, and even
necrosis in the hands.
A high level of vibration and long periods of exposure
are factors that contribute to the "white fingers"
disease. In order to reduce the risk of the "white
fingers" disease, it is necessary to take these
recommendations into account:
- Always wear gloves.
- Make sure to always have warm hands.
- Take frequent breaks.
- Always firmly hold the machine by the handles.
If you detect any "white fingers" disease symptoms
immediately consult your doctor.
2.4. SAFETY IN THE WORK AREA
Keep the work area clean and work with good light.
Cluttered and dark areas cause accidents.
When you are working in streets, roads, or areas close
to them watch that it does not endanger circulation
with any objects pushed by your blower air.
Do not operate this machine in explosive atmospheres
as well as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
and dust.
Keep 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.
2.5. SAFETY IN THE USE OF FUEL AND OIL
Petrol and oil are hazardous; avoid contact
of gasoline or oil with the skin and eyes.
