Clothing
In general, it is necessary to wear suitable clothing for the work to be carried out. In particular, as far as Mulcher
use, obey the following provisions:
•
It is mandatory
to use clothing, which is as suitable as possible, meaning not too loose and without any
protruding or moving parts (for example ties or necklaces). Do not wear belts, rings and chains. Always
use sturdy safety footwear. Long hair must be tied using a specific cap.
•
It is mandatory
to use protective goggles or a mask before proceeding with the work in order to protect
the face and eyes from vegetable fragments which may be projected outwards during mowing.
•
It is mandatory
to use protective muffs in order to safeguard hearing from noise from the equipment
during work
2.5
Ecology And Pollution
Below are the minimum provisions to be followed in order to reduce the risk of environmental impact connected
to the use of the machine:
•
If the Country where the machine is used foresees specific sound emission limits, it is best to adapt to
the provisions in these standards, if necessary, being supplied with suitable protective equipment
(earplugs, muffs, etc.).
•
It is mandatory
to respect current legislation of the Country where the Mulcher is used, related to use
and disposal of lubricants and products used for machine cleaning and maintenance, observing the
recommendations of the manufacturer of those products.
•
If replacing worn parts or during demolition, one must follow anti-pollution laws foreseen in the country
where the Mulcher is used.
•
It is prohibited
to pour products used for cleaning or polluting substances into the sewerage drain, on
the ground, in watercourses, or into the environment.
•
It is mandatory
to collect products used for cleaning and polluting substances in appropriate
containers, store them and deliver them to companies authorised for their disposal.
2.5.1
Disposal
If deciding not to use the Mulcher, it is best to take a few precautions in order to avoid the risk of environmental
pollution. The various parts of the machine must be treated as if they were special waste. One must proceed by
taking apart the equipment, grouping the various parts and components in similar parts (rubber, metal, plastic,
etc.), providing for disposal of these parts separately, according to existing anti-pollution laws of the Country
where the machine was used. Please note that, in general,
exhausted lubricating oil, rubber parts and scrap
metals are special waste.
2.5.2
Storage
If the machine is to be set aside for a long period, it is recommended to:
•
Treat the Mulcher according to the instructions contained in the "5.2. Cleaning the Mulcher" paragraph;
•
Check the machine and have any damaged parts replaced;
•
Fully tighten all screws and bolts, in particular those which secure the teeth;
•
Perform a general thorough lubrication;
•
Place the Mulcher in a dry area where it cannot be touched by persons not authorised to use it and rest
it on struts of wood.
•
Protect the entire machine with a tarpaulin.
If these operations are carried out properly, the user will find the Mulcher in perfect condition when it is required
again.
If the Mulcher is to be dismantled, comply with the relative anti-pollution legislation of the Country of use.
It should not be forgotten that the Manufacturer is always available if you require any assistance or spare parts.
