General Safety Information
1. Observe the surrounding conditions
under which you are working. The
motorised equipment produces toxic
fumes as soon as the engine is run-
ning. These gases may be odour-
less and invisible. Therefore, never
work with the equipment in enclosed
or poorly ventilated spaces. Ensure
adequate ventilation when working.
Ensure a safe stance in the wet, snow
and ice, on slopes and on uneven ter-
ritory.
2. Do not allow strangers to use the
equipment. Visitors and onlookers –
particularly children and people who
are ill or infirm – must be kept away
from the workplace. Prevent other
people from coming into contact with
the tools. Do not pass on the equip -
ment to people who are unfamiliar
with the equipment and its handling.
3. Ensure the safe transport and storage
of the equipment. Always carry the
equipment suspended by the carrying
strap or on the tube. Equipment that
is not in use must be stored in a dry
place as high up as possible or locked
away to be inaccessible.
4. Always use the right tool for any work.
E.g. do not use small tools or acces-
sories for work that should actually be
performed with heavy tools. Use tools
only for the purposes for which they
have been constructed.
5. Ensure appropriate clothing. Clothing
must be appropriate and not impede
you when working. Wear clothing with
cut protection pads.
6. Use personal protective equipment.
Wear safety boots with steel caps /
steel soles and non-slip soles.
Wear a hard hat if there is a risk of
falling objects when working.
7. Wear safety goggles. Objects may be
thrown out. Serious eye injuries may
result.
8. Wear ear protection. Wear personal
sound protection, e.g. earplugs.
9. Hand protection. Wear strong gloves
– leather gloves offer good protection.
10. Operating the equipment. Never work
without the protection on the cutting
tool. Risk of injury from objects being
thrown out.
