Permanent damage, especially to hearing, if the operator
does not constantly wear personal hearing protection.
►
Wear ear protection.
Risk of injury from touching hot parts.
►
Do not touch heated parts.
►
Prior to work on heated parts, switch off engines and allow
hot parts to cool down for at least 30 minutes.
►
Set the machine down at least one metre away from build-
ings and other equipment.
►
Make sure there is no flammable material near the engine
and that no objects are placed onto the running engine.
►
Cover and/or offload the machine only after it has cooled
down.
The transmission of vibrations to the human body causes
ad-verse health effects. Although the operating guide handle
is vibration cushioned, a complete decoupling of vibrations
is unachievable.
►
Wear padded gloves.
►
During the work process, incorporate vibration-free activi-
ties that place mainly dynamic demands on muscles.
The majority of the components and parts used are subject
to special regulations for collection and disposal.
►
Dispose of components according to material groups (steel,
plastics, oils, etc.).
►
Collect waste oil in line with the relevant regulations and
dispose of it accordingly.
Unauthorised start-up and misuse can result in dangers
and damage of any kind.
►
Unauthorised start-up by unauthorised persons is strictly
prohibited.
►
It is up to the operating company to assess this risk.
►
It is the responsibility of the operating company to imple-
ment appropriate measures against unauthorised start-up.
The accident prevention regulations of the Civil Engineering
association also find application in these operating
instructions and are to be carefully read and adhered to.
►
Always observe the general and internal accident preven-
tion regulations.
►
Consider the potential risks of accidents in association with
the special tasks of the product and provide for appropriate
training.
