VIBRATIONS
When using this device for a more extended period, the
user is exposed to vibrations.
It can lead to white finger
disease (Raynaud's phenomenon). This disease
reduces the touch of the hand and adjusts the
temperature, resulting in a lack of sensitivity in the
fingers and a burning sensation. This disease can
lead to nervous and circulatory problems and even
necrosis in the hands.
High vibrations and long exposure times contribute to
white finger disease. To reduce the risk, it is necessary
to take these recommendations into account:
•
Always wear gloves
•
Make sure to keep your hands warm
•
Take regular breaks
•
Always hold the device firmly by the handles
If you experience any white finger disease symptoms,
consult your doctor immediately.

SAFETY IN THE WORK AREA
Do not operate this device in potentially
explosive atmospheres or the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, and dust.
Never start the device in closed rooms like
living rooms or garages.
This device emits
dangerous gases through the exhaust
pipe, which accumulate in the area,
making the air toxic and harmful to the health of
people, animals, and plants. Do not start the device
in a living room or enclosure. The exhaust gases and
fuel vapours contain carbon monoxide and harmful
chemicals. In the event of a concentration of gases
that accumulate due to poor ventilation, remove
anything that impedes the flow of clean air from the
work area to improve ventilation and do not return to
the work area unless you have adequately ventilated
the area and are certain that the ventilation is
sufficient to prevent this concentration of airborne
pollutants from returning.
The area within a radius of 15 meters around the device is
to be regarded as a danger area, into which nobody may
enter while the device is running (safety area).
If
necessary, use ropes and warning signs to mark the
safety area.
Keep children and curious persons away from the working
area while operating this device.
Distractions can lead
to a loss of control. Ensure that children, persons, or
animals do not enter your working area.
If the work has to be carried out by two or more
persons simultaneously, always check other
persons' presence and location to maintain a
sufficient distance between each person to ensure
safety.
Do not use this device at night, in fog or poor
visibility. Otherwise, the working area will not be
visible.
