WARNING
Noise hazard
High noise levels can cause permanent and
disabling hearing loss and other problems such as
tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling, or humming in
the ears). To reduce risks and prevent an
unnecessary increase in noise levels:
►
Risk assessment of these hazards and
implementation of appropriate controls is
essential.
►
Operate and maintain the machine as
recommended in these instructions.
►
Select, maintain and replace the working tool as
recommended in these instructions.
►
If the machine has a silencer, check that it is in
place and in good working condition.
►
Always use hearing protection.
►
Use damping material to prevent work pieces
from 'ringing'.
WARNING
Unstable position hazard
During operation of the machine, there is a risk for
falling, tripping and/or coming in contact with the
working tool, which can cause injury. This risk
increases if you work in an unstable position or on
any unstable ground, object or surface. To reduce
this risk:
►
Never work in an unstable position.
►
Always make sure you are in a stable position
with your feet as far apart as your shoulder
width and keeping a balanced body weight.
►
Never stand on any unstable ground, objects or
surfaces.
WARNING
Slippery machine surface hazard
There is a risk that the machine (for example, the
handle and other surfaces) is slippery due to
grease, oil, or other substances. If the machine is
slippery, there is a risk that you might lose your
grip, drop the machine, and/or come in contact
with the working tool during operation of the
machine. Any such event can cause injury. To
reduce this risk:
►
Always make sure that the handles and other
gripping surfaces of the machine are not
slippery.
►
Always make sure that the handles and other
gripping surfaces are free from grease and oil.
