Table 1: Symbols
1.2 Operation safety
The machine is designed to protect the user against flying parts of mowed stand as much as possible. Do not remove any active or
passive safety element. Doing so shall expose you to injury or harm. Before putting the machine into operation, read and observe the
following instructions and work safety regulations.
Communicate the safety instructions to all other persons who work with the machine.
Keep these safety instructions in a safe place.
Repairs to the safety cut-out may only be carried out by the manufacturer or persons authorized by him (authorized services).
1.2.1 Safety regulations
The mulcher may only be operated by one person. The machine operator must be 18 years or older. He/she must read through
the machine operating manuals and is required to be aware of the general principles of occupational safety and to fully
understand how the machine works.
When operating the machine, use work equipment approved according to
EN 166
or
EN 1731
(close-fitting apparel, sturdy
footwear, work gloves and protective goggles). Keep a safe distance from the machine, given by the handle.
Always turn off the engine and wait until the operating tool stops, before engaging in any activity near the machine! Always turn
the engine off before leaving the machine!
Never let the engine running at maximum speed or idling for long periods, with the blade drive clutch and wheel drive clutch
turned off! This could result in damage to the drivetrain components (V-belt, pulley, clutch pulley, etc.)!
Before every use of the machine
, check to ensure that no component (particularly working assembly or covers) are not loose
or damaged.
Any discovered defects must immediately be removed.
Use only original replacement parts when repairing.
The mowed vegetation must first be cleared of solid objects (such as rocks, wires, free construction remnants, etc.), which could
be ejected or which could damage the machine, prior to machine use. If they cannot be removed, avoid these locations.
The machine is equipped with a rotating operating tool. The maximum peripheral speed is
82 m.s
-1
. It is therefore important to
ensure that others remain at a safe distance when the machine is in operation (possible ejection of mowed vegetations or hit
solid objects)!
Since the noise and vibration reference values are exceeded, the following instructions must be followed when operating the
machine:
Hearing should be protected with suitable protective equipment according to
EN 352-1
(ear muffs) or
EN 352-2
(protective ear plugs). This equipment should be available at your local retailer.
Every 20 minutes of machine operation should be interrupted by at least 10 minutes of rest. The operator must not be
exposed to other sources of noise or vibration during these rests.
Do not start the engine in enclosed areas! Use increased caution when handling the machine. The muffler is hot after the engine
is turned off. Be careful to avoid spillage onto engine parts when refilling fuel. If spillage occurs, dry the affected parts or wait
until the gasoline evaporates.
All surrounding persons (especially children) and animals must be in safe range of the machine operating space. The operator
may continue working after ensuring that they are located at a
safe
distance.
Notice:
EN 12733 standard regulates the limitations of external safety area A around operating area B. Meanwhile, suitable
restriction labels will prevent entry into this area. The distance between individual sides of areas A and B must not be less than
50 m. As soon as a person or animal enter this hazardous machine area, the operator must immediately release the drive lever of
the cutting device and wait until the area is again free.
Removal of protective devices and machine covers is prohibited.
Safe
climbing availability of the machine is 10°. The maximum tilt of the engine during long-term operation is 20°, in short-term
(within one minute) operation 30°.
If possible, do not use the machine on damp grass. You must always move on safe terrain. Work while walking, never running. Be
especially careful when changing direction on slopes. Do not mow on steep slopes. In the event of a fall, do not hold the
machine, but release it.
