General Working Instructions - Husqvarna DXR250 Operator's Manual

If there is an accident
It is the responsibility of the employer to produce an action
plan and train operators how to deal with incidents. First
take action to save human life and second to avoid
material damage. Learn how to administer first aid!
Measures to take in the event of an accident:
• Get an overview. Is anyone injured? Is anyone still in
the area where the accident took place?
• Alert emergency services and be prepared to provide
information.
• Administer first aid and prepare a route for the
emergency personnel.
• Ensure that someone accompanies the injured to the
hospital.
• Secure the scene of the accident.
• Contact management.
• Contact relatives.
• Investigate the cause of the accident.
• Put measures in place to prevent future accidents.
• Always notify Husqvarna Construction Products in the
event of near-accidents or accidents regardless of
whether the machine was directly or indirectly
involved in the incident.

General working instructions

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
!
all instructions. Neglecting to follow the
warnings and instructions can lead to
serious injury or death for the operator
or others.
This section describes basic safety directions for using
the machine. This information is never a substitute for
professional skills and experience. If you get into a
situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek expert
advice. Contact your dealer, service agent or an
experienced user. Do not attempt any task that you feel
unsure of!
Work area safety
The machine's risk area
Nobody is permitted to be within the machine's risk area
when work is underway. This also applies for the operator.
The working area is limited by the machine's reach,
however, the risk area varies depending on working
method, work object, surface etc. Study possible risks
before starting work. If conditions change during the
course of the work, the risk area must be redefined.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Workplace
• Define and cordon off the risk area. Nobody is
permitted to be within the machine's risk area when
work is underway.
• Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated
to create a safe working environment.
• The machine can be remote controlled over long
distances. Do not operate the machine unless you
have clear supervision of the machine and its risk
area. If the view of the machine and its risk area is not
good enough a camera system should be used.
• Never start working with the machine until the working
area has been cleared of obstacles.
• Be on the alert when working in environments where
there is a substantial risk of slipping due to
unevenness, loose material, oil, ice or suchlike.
• Inspect ground conditions, load-bearing structures
etc. to prevent materials, machines and staff falling
and deal with any risks there might be before starting
work.
• When working at a height, for instance on roofs,
platforms and the like, increase the size of the risk
area. Define and cordon off the risk area at ground
level and ensure that no material can fall down and
cause injury.
• Do not use the machine in environments where there
is a risk of explosion. Take the risk of spark formation
into account when working in flammable
environments.
• Always check and mark where electricity cables and
pipelines are routed.
• The air in confined spaces can rapidly become
harmful to health due to, for example, dust and gases.
Use protective equipment and ensure that there is
satisfactory ventilation.
Electrical safety
• Check that the main voltage corresponds with the
machine's rating plate.
• The machine must be connected to a functioning
protective earth.
• Check all cables and connections. Damaged electric
cables can impede the machine's function and lead to
personal injuries. Do not use damaged connectors or
cables.
• The electric cabinet must not be opened when the
machine is connected to power. Some components in
the electric cabinet are permanently live, even if the
machine is turned off.
• Always connect the machine through an ground fault
circuit interrupter with personal protection, i.e. an
ground fault circuit interrupter that trips at an ground
fault of 30 mA.
• The machine must never be driven to such a depth in
water that it reaches up to the machine's equipment.
The equipment can be damaged and the machine can
be live, resulting in personal injuries.
• Ensure that the power cable cannot be run over. Take
particular care when moving or when the outriggers
are being retracted or extended. Risk of electric
shock.
