2.3 DURING OPERATION
Work area
• Do not use the machine
in environments at risk of
explosion, in the presence
of flammable liquids, gas
or powder. Power tools
create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
• Work only in daylight or
with good artificial light in
good visibility conditions.
• Keep persons, children and
animals away from the working
area. Get another adult to keep
the children under supervision.
• Check that there is nobody
within at least 15 metres of the
machine's range of action.
• Avoid working with wet grass,
in the rain and when there
is a risk of a thunderstorm,
especially lightening.
• Where possible, avoid working
on wet, slippery ground or in
any case on uneven or steep
ground that does not guarantee
stability for the operator.
• Do not expose the machine
to rain or wet environments.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
• Pay careful attention to uneven
ground (hills, dips), slopes,
hidden hazards and obstacles
that could limit visibility.
• Be very careful near ravines,
ditches or embankments.
• Look out for traffic when using
the machine near the road.
• Always assess wind
direction and never work
against the wind.
• Do not use of the machine
near open windows.
• Do not use the machine
on paved or gravel-
covered surfaces, to
avoid that the removed
material causes injuries.
• Do not allow processed
material to build up in the
discharge zone; this may
prevent proper discharge
and can result in kickback
of material through the
intake opening.
Conduct
• When performing work
utilising the machine as
blower, the machine must
always be held firmly with
the hand on the handgrip.
• Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
• Always use caution and
take on a firm and well-
balanced position.
• Do not lose your balance.
• Make sure to avoid violent
impacts against foreign bodies
and prevent the air flow from
throwing any material and dust.
• Do not direct the air jet
towards persons or animals.
• When used as a blower always
pay the utmost attention to
prevent removed material or
dust from injuring people or
animals or damaging property.
• When using the vacuum (if
applicable) do not manually
insert objects in the vacuum
inlet and avoid the intake
of large objects that could
damage the rotor.
• Never run, always walk.
