Always keep an eye on the machine when the engine is running
and hold it by the steering bow.
Do not inhale exhaust fumes, because they contain toxic sub-
stances, which could cause damage to health, unconsciousness or
even death.
Avoid operation in closed or partly closed rooms, or ensure ade-
quate ventilation when working in trenches.
Applies only to Germany.
The vibratory tamper or the vibratory plate were tested outdoors by
BG Bau (Germany) regarding CO emissions. The tests were car-
ried out in a trench with a width of 1.5 metres, a depth of 3 metres
and a length of 10 metres.
These test showed CO emissions below the occupational exposure
limit (OEL) according to TRGS 900 when operating a maximum of
4 times 15 minutes per shift (8 hours).
For this reason, take care to ensure sufficient ventilation when
operating the vibratory tamper or vibratory plate in more than
shoulder-deep trenches which have a width of less than
1.5 metres, a maximum depth of less than 3 metres or a maximum
length of less than 10 metres.
Before taking up work, also after breaks, you should always con-
vince yourself that the danger zone is free of persons or obstruc-
tions.
Give warning signals, if necessary. Stop work immediately if per-
sons remain in the danger zone, despite the warning.
Guide the machine only by the guide handle.
Guide the machine so that your hands do not hit against solid
objects.
Watch out for unusual noises and development of smoke. Perform
trouble shooting and have the fault corrected.
Always keep a safe distance to excavation pit borders, embank-
ments and edges.
