Safety equipment
Long exposure to loud noise without
ear protectors can cause permanent
damage to hearing.
Long exposure to vibrations can dam-
age the hands, fingers and wrists. Do
not use the machine if you experience
discomfort, cramp or pain. Consult a
doctor before resuming work with
the machine.
Always use approved safety equipment. The
operator, and people in the immediate vicinity
of the working area, must wear:
• Safety helmet
• Safety goggles
• Ear protectors
•
Dust mask in dusty environments
•
High-visibility clothing
• Protective gloves
• Protective shoes
Avoid wearing loosely fitting clothing that might
get caught in the machine. If you have long hair,
cover it with a hair net. Vibrations from hand-held
machines are transmitted into the hands via the
handles of the machine. Dynapac’s machines
are equipped with vibration-relieved handles.
Depending on operation, the course and dura-
tion of exposure, the recommended limit values
for hand and arm vibration can be exceeded.
Take suitable measures as required, eg, wear
protective gloves, and do not vibrate already
compacted material.
Be alert to acoustic signals from other ma-
chines in the working area.
Working area
Do not use the machine near flammable material or
in explosive environments. Sparks can be emitted
from the exhaust pipe, and these can ignite flam-
mable material. When you take a pause or have
finished working with the machine, do not park it
on or near flammable materials. The exhaust pipe
can get very hot during operation, and can cause
certain material to ignite. Make sure that there
are no other personnel inside the working area
while the machine is in use. Keep the worksite
clean and free of extraneous objects. Store the
machine in a safe place, out of unauthorized’s
reach, preferably in a locked container.
