2.13 Emissions, precautions
WARNING Noise hazard
Operating the hydraulic attachment creates a loud noise.
Long term high sound pressure level can affect your
hearing.
u
Wear suitable hearing protection.
WARNING Lung disease
Dust may be generated when operating the hydraulic at-
tachment. If dust from rocks or silica dust, produced
when operating the hydraulic attachment on rocks, con-
crete, asphalt or other such materials, is inhaled this
may lead to silicosis (dust lungs, a severe lung disease).
Silicosis is a chronic disease which may lead cancer and
death.
u
Wear a suitable breathing mask.
WARNING Vibration hazards
When working with the drum cutter severe vibrations can
occur and may cause considerable significant injuries
and chronic damage to health.
u
Operate the drum cutter with a constant load, in or-
der to minimise existing vibrations.
u
Avoid abrupt starting up or stopping of the cutter
drums.
WARNING Risk of death if exhaust gases are not
vented
When working in buildings or tunnels, exhaust gases
from the carrier (diesel motor) can collect and cause poi-
soning or even death.
u
Effectively vent exhaust gases from buildings or tun-
nels using a ventilation system.
u
Keep the cabin doors of the carrier closed.
WARNING Hot surfaces
The cutter drums of the drum cutter can become very
hot in operation. Skin contact with hot surfaces results in
severe burns to the skin.
u Always wear heat-resistant protective work clothes
and protective gloves, when working in close proxim-
ity to hot surfaces.
u
Prior to all work, check the drum cutter to ensure that
all surfaces have cooled to the ambient temperature.
