PERSONAL PROTECTION
Always use suitable protection equipment. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery while
working with the equipment. Long hair should be tied up when working with equipment
that has moving parts. Use protective gloves to avoid the risk of burns if hot surfaces such
as exhaust pipes are touched, and to avoid oil and petrol getting in contact with the skin. Ear
defenders must be worn whilst the engine is running.
Use suitable protective equipment adapted according to the chemical being used.
SURROUNDINGS
Check that the work area is free from bystanders, children and objects before hitching or
using the equipment. There is a risk of serious injury. Be extra careful if there are children in
the vicinity of the area where the equipment or product is used or stored. Check that there
are no low-hanging electrical cables within the work area. Exercise caution when working on
slopes and close to ditches. Always work alone with equipment or products that are made for
working alone. Remove all rubbish from your work area. Keep work areas clean. Always respect
the equipment’s risk zone.
STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE USE
Carefully read the instruction manual. Make sure that you understand the safety instructions,
the instruction manual and warning decals. Use common sense when using the product
and suitable personal protective equipment. Always check the performance of the machine
combination to be used. It is important that these are compatible and work satisfactorily
together. This is done to ensure the equipment works as expected, and to guarantee the safety
of yourself and others. Carry out a visual inspection of the equipment or product before use.
Repair or replace damaged or worn parts to reduce the risk of injury.
Grease moving parts and check that all nuts and bolts are tightened. Correct if necessary.
Learn and remember the correct working method. Beginners must work slowly until they have
learned how the machine or product works. Users/customers are responsible for ensuring
users can handle the situation. If users feel that the machine is dangerous to use, it should not
be used.
DANGER!
Children must not be left
unsupervised in the area
