• Keep your face, hands
and body away from the
vacuum vent (when using
as a vacuum, if applicable)
and from the air exhaust
(when using as blower).
• Do not obstruct air
passageways both during start-
up and during machine use.
• 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.
Use limitations
• Do not use the machine if
you are unable to hold it with
both hands or keep it steady
on your legs while working.
• Never use the machine
with damaged, missing or
incorrectly positioned guards.
• Never use the machine
without having installed all
the attachments required
for each use (as blower
or vacuum collector).
• Never disengage, deactivate,
remove or tamper with
the safety systems/micro
switches installed.
• Do not use the power tool
if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Do not strain the machine
too much and do not use a
small machine for heavy-
duty work. If you use the right
machine, you will reduce the
risk of hazards and improve
the quality of your work.
