English
Utilice siempre la máquina sujeta con sus dos
manos en las empuñaduras.
If you are not an expert user, we strongly recommend
that you practice firstly with some simple chores
preferably in the presence of an expert user.
If the machine vibrates abnormally stop the engine,
inspect the machine looking for the possible cause
and repair. If you don't find the reason take your
machine at your service.
Do not touch the exhaust of the machine with the
engine running or just after it has been stopped. The
exhaust of this machine reaches high temperatures
during operation of the engine and kept some minutes
after the stop thereof.
Do not leave the machine running unattended. If
you must leave the machine unattended shut off the
engine, wait until the cutting device stops and unplug
the spark plug wire.
When transporting the machine, make sure it is
hooked to the harness and with your hands on the
handles, with the engine stopped, with the blade
protector and at a distance from your body parts.
When transporting or storing the machine, always
cover the blade. An appropriate use of the machine
will greatly reduce the risk of accidental contact with
the cutting elements.
Store the machine well away from children.
2.2.1. WORK CLOTHES
Dress adequately. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewels. Maintain your hair, clothes and gloves well
away from all moving parts.
Use eye and ear protection always when
using the machine.
The noise of the machine is uncomfortable.
Always use ear protection. If you use this machine
very often, visit your doctor regularly to check up on
your hearing capacity.
Attention! As you are working with ear
protectors, you must pay more attention to visual
warnings as you will hear less because of the ear
protectors.
We highly recommend the use of protection for head,
hands, arms and feet.
The use of appropriate working equipment and
conditions such as anti dust masks, working gloves,
non slippery boots and helmet will reduce the risk of
personal injury. The use of appropriate working clothes
will protect you from projected debris and in case of
contact with the cutting elements of the machine.
You must always carry:
• Tooling
• Signalling tape to limit work area.
• Mobile phone (for use in case of an emergency)
2.2.2. VIBRATIONS
The prolonged use of the machine, exposes
the client to vibrations that in extreme cases and
through many hours of use of the machine could
cause the ¨white finger syndrome¨ also known as
Raynaud phenomenon. This causes a reduction in
the tact of the fingers and their capacity to regulate
temperature generating a lack of sensibility. This
sickness could in extreme cases cause problems with
the nerve endings.
