21. Time of use and breaks. After some time of using the
appliance you may face problems with hand blood
perfusion due to vibrations. However, the time of using the
appliance can be extended by wearing suitable gloves and
taking regular breaks. Be sure to know the time of using of
power-driven appliances is reduced by personal
propensity to poor blood perfusion, low outside
temperatures or strong pressing of the appliance during
work.
22. Look out for damaged parts. Inspect the appliance
before using it. Are there any parts damaged? If there is
any slight damage, please seriously consider whether the
appliance is going to work safely and properly despite that
damage. Make sure the moving parts are adjusted and set
correctly
.

the feeder cable of the appliance is damaged. Do not
execute any repairs yourself under any circumstances.
The appliance has not been designed to be used by
persons (including children) with physical or sensory
disability or mental disorder. Persons with lack of

4. Injury type
Disposal
The disposal instructions are based on icons placed on the
machine or its package. The description of the meanings can
be found in the “Marking“ section.
Transport package disposal
The package protects the machine against damage during
transport. Packing materials are usually chosen depending on
their environmental friendliness and disposal method and can
therefore be recycled. Returning the package to material
circulation saves raw materials and reduces waste disposal
costs. Parts of packages (e.g. foils, styropor®) can be
dangerous to children.
Risk of suffocation! Keep parts of the
package away from children and dispose them as soon as
possible.
