Avoid the intake of pieces of
metal, rocks, bottles, cans,
other foreign obejcts and large
objects that could damage
the rotor (when being used as
vacuum collector, if foreseen).
• Never stand at a higher level
than the base of the machine

•
Always keep your face,
hands, and body away from
the intake grille and air outlet
and do not obstruct the
airways both when starting
and utilising the machine.
• The rotating parts can
cause serious injuries; avoid
contact with these parts
while they are still rotating.
If something breaks or
an accident occurs during
work, turn off the motor
immediately and move the
machine away to prevent
further damage; if an accident
occurs with injuries or third
parties are injured, carry out
the first aid measures most
suitable for the situation
immediately and contact
the medical authorities
for any necessary health
care. Carefully remove any
debris which could cause
damage or injury to persons
or animals if ignored.
Prolonged exposure to
vibrations can cause injuries
and neurovascular disorders
(also called “Raynaud’s
syndrome” or “white
finger”), especially to people
suffering from circulation
disorders. The symptoms
can regard the hands, wrists
and fingers and are shown
through loss of sensitivity,
torpor, itching, pain and
discolouring of or structural
changes to the skin. These
effects can be worsened by
low ambient temperatures
and/or by gripping the hand
grips excessively tightly. If
the symptoms occur, the
length of time the machine
is used must be reduced
and a doctor consulted.
