Safety information Safety information Explanation of symbols The following symbols and instructions warn against possible injuries or damage to property or are intended to assist you in your work. DANGER Hazard warning This symbol appears next to instructions relating to safety at work wherever a hazard to life and limb exists if the instructions are not complied with.
Never leave the machine running unattended. Switch off the machine's drive unit before carrying out any adjustments. Only use original - POSCH - spare parts. Do not modify or tamper with the machine. Work on electrical equipment must only be carried out by qualified electricians.
Safety information Noise The workplace-related noise level is 98 dB(A), measured at the ear of the operator. In the case of machines with a PTO drive, the noise level depends on the noise of the tractor. Ear protection is therefore necessary. The stated values are emissions values, and thus do not necessarily represent reliable values for the work area.
