Danger arising from
unauthorised start-up
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.
Fire hazard
►
The machine should be set up at least one metre away
from buildings and other equipment.
►
Make sure that there are no inflammable materials in the
vicinity of the motor and that no objects are placed on the
motor when it is running.
►
Do not cover or load the machine until it has properly
cooled down.
The transmission of vibrations to the human body causes ad-
verse health effects. Although the operating guide handle is
vibration cushioned via rubber buffers, a complete decoupling
of vibrations is unachievable.
►
Wear padded gloves.
►
During the work process, incorporate vibration-free activi-
ties with 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 unauthorisedstart-up.
