Safety
2.1
General
•
The weed brush may not be modified.
•
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the correct tool holder is used (see
Section 1:Technical details). To this end, the following points are important:
•
The maximum pressure and rotational speed (oil flow) must not be
exceeded. Exceeding these limits may damage the installation and injure
bystanders.
•
The tool holder must be sufficiently strong and stable enough to bear the
forces and torques caused by the weed brush in all circumstances.
2.2
During use
•
Consult the manual for the tool holder and the additionally attached options
to look up the resulting sound load. As the specified nominal RPMs is
significantly higher than the sound produced by the weed brush, the sound
load from the tool holder is leading.
•
The installation may only be used for the work activities it is designed for.
•
If people or animals approach or enter the safety zone, the weed brush and
the work activities must be stopped immediately.
•
If passers by constantly interrupt the work activities too much, consideration
should be given to fencing off the work area.
•
If the weed brush begins to make a different sound and/or starts to vibrate,
the work and the weed brush must be immediately stopped (see 4.2). The
work must not restart until the cause is found and resolved. .
•
Inspection and maintenance work must be carried out.
•
During inspection and maintenance, the installation must not be used for
other purposes.
•
During inspection, maintenance, or cleaning, the hydraulic feed to the weed
brush must be disconnected to prevent it being accidentally switched on.
•
The local work and safety regulations must be observed.
•
If the installation is to be used in the dark, sufficient lighting must be used
(approx. 50 lux on the place of operation).
•
To prevent damage to the installation, the device must be gradually switched
off using the lowest RPMs. Depending on the tool holder used, this is idling
speed or the minimal flow.
2.3
Operating personnel:
•
Operating personnel must be older than 18 years of age.
