DANGER Exhaust gas hazard
The exhaust gas from the machine’s combustion
engine contains carbon monoxide which is
poisonous, and chemicals known to the State of
California and other authorities to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm. Inhalation of
exhaust fumes can cause serious injury, illness, or
death.
►
Never inhale exhaust fumes.
►
Ensure good ventilation (extraction of air by fan if
necessary).
WARNING Projectiles
Failure of the work piece, of accessories, or even of
the machine itself may generate high velocity
projectiles. During operating, splinters or other
particles from the compacted material may become
projectiles and cause personal injury by striking the
operator or other persons. To reduce these risk:
►
Use approved personal protective equipment and
safety helmet, including impact resistant eye
protection with side protection.
►
Make sure that no unauthorised persons trespass
into the working zone.
►
Keep the workplace free from foreign objects.
WARNING Rotating blades hazards
There is a risk of hands and feet getting caught by
the rotating blades when the machine is running.
This can cause personal injury.
►
Never place your hands or feet inside the
protection ring when the machine is running.
WARNING Motion hazards
When using the machine to perform work-related
activities, you may experience discomfort in the
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the
body.
►
Adopt a comfortable posture while maintaining
secure footing and avoiding awkward off-balanced
postures.
►
Changing posture during extended tasks may help
avoid discomfort and fatigue.
►
In case of persistent or recurring symptoms,
consult a qualified health professional.
