3.1 Safety precautions
Any machine, if it is not used according the regulations, may be hazardous for operating,
setting-up and service personnel. The operating authority is responsible for compli-
ance with the safety regulations during operation and maintenance, and for the use
of safety devices supplied with the machine, as well as the provision of appropriate additional
safety devices!
Eye and ear protection must be worn at all times.
Never operate the machine when it’s not in its upright position.
Make sure there is no debris in the work area.
Check the work area for screws or other hard objects in the concrete. Don’t use the machine if
there are any foreign objects stuck into the surface. Such objects must be removed prior to ope-
ration of machine.
3.2 Organizational measures
The user guide is to be kept near the location where the machine is being operated and must be
within reach at all times.
In addition to this user guide general and legal regulations regarding accident prevention and
environmental protection must be complied with as per local regulations.
Such duties may, for example, relate to the handling of hazardous substances, or to the provision
and wearing of personal protection equipment, as well as compliance with traffic regulations.
The user guide must be supplemented by other instructions, including the duty to supervise and
report incidents relating to particular working practices, for example work organization, work pro-
cedures and personnel safety.
Personnel entrusted with working with the machine must read the User Guide before starting
work, in particular the “3 Safety Regulations” chapter. To read these instructions after work is com-
menced is too late. This particularly applies to incidental activities such as setting up the equip-
ment, carrying out maintenance work or training staff to work with the machine.
From time to time the working practices of the operators are to be checked by a supervisor espe-
cially to the items regarding awareness of safety and hazards.
Operators must tie back long hair, and not wear loose clothing or jewelry including rings. There is
a risk of injury through items getting caught, or being drawn into moving machinery.
