2.3. WORKPLACE SECURITY
Maintain the working area clean and with good
light. Work places that are untidy or messy and not
well illuminated cause accidents.
Do not use the machine in areas that have an
explosive atmosphere and where there are
inflammable liquids, gases and powder. To avoid
fire risks and to have a well ventilated area, use the
machine in an area that is clean and with no fire
hazards at least in a perimeter of one meter.
Maintain children and passers by away from the
working area. Distractions can cause the loss of
control over the machine. Make sure that no passers-
by, children and animals enter the working area.
Do not use the machine in areas where there is the
possibility of finding cables and piping underground.
2.4. ELECTRIC SECURITY
The electric plug of this machine must coincide
with the electric mains. Do not modify in any way
the electric plug. Electric plugs not modified and that
coincide with the electric mains would reduce the risk
of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as
tubes, radiators, electric kitchens and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if in
contact with earthed products.
Do not expose this machine to rain or humid
conditions. The water that could enter the machine
could increase the risk of electric shock. Do not leave
this machine outdoors at night as the humidity could
damage the machine. Do not work with wet grass, wet
soil or mud.
Do not overstretch the cable. Do not use the cable
to transport the machine, to lift the machine or to
remove from the electric mains. Maintain the cable
far away from heat sources, oil, sharp edges or
pieces in movement. Damaged cables or twisted
cables increase the risk of electric shock.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable or
with the electric mains damaged. Before connecting
the machine, check the plug and the cables for
damages. If you discover any damages take
your machine to your nearest after sales service
for repair. If the cable is damaged or broken,
disconnect the machine immediately. Damaged
cables or twisted cables increase the risk of electric
shock.
The substitution of the plug or cable should be
done by an approved and homologated after sales
service. We recommend that this machine should be
connected to residual differential whose current is
lower or equal to 30mA.
Never use a damaged cable or a damaged electric
mains, or that does not comply with current
normative or those required for this machine. When
using a electric extension for the cable, make sure
that it has a minimum section of 1.5 mm
should not be longer than 25 metres in length and
homologated for outdoor use. Both the plug and the
base of the electric extension must be waterproof
and should never be submerged in water. The use of
an adequate electric extension will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
Place the electric extension so that it does not hook
itself on branches, it is well clear of the blades of the
tiller and other obstacles and ensuring that it is not in
the working area. The cable extension should always
be behind the user.
