Garland SET 652 VE Instruction Manual page 25

The correct use of security equipment will reduce the
risk of personal injury.
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.
You must carry with you:
• Tooling.
• Signalling tape to limit work area.
• Mobile phone (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.
The exposure to the vibrations is the cause of
the white finger syndrome. To minimise this
effect as much as possible, follow the following
recommendations:
• Always use gloves.
• Always have your hands warm.
• Ensure that the cutting device is always sharp.
• Take frequent breaks.
• Always hold the machine tightly by the handles.
If you detect any of the symptoms of the white finger
syndrome, consult immediately with your doctor.
2.3. WORKING AREA SECURITY
Do not use the machine in explosive
atmospheres or in the presence of
inflammable liquids, gases and powders.
To avoid fire hazards, make sure the working area is
well ventilated and that the working area is clean and
that there are no strange elements within 1 metre of
the machine.
Electric machines can release sparks that could ignite
the inflammable liquids, gases and powders.
The working area has a 15 metre radius
around the machine and should be
considered a risk area were nobody
should enter whilst the machine is working (security
area). When necessary, use rope or signals to mark
the working area.
Maintain children, other people and animals well clear
of the machine whilst working. Distractions can cause
the loss of control. Be vigilant and stop any children,
other people and animals coming into the working
area.
When work must be carried out by two or more people
at the same time make sure you can control and
see the other people so as to maintain an adequate
working distance between users to guarantee security.
Do not use this machine at night, with fog or with
reduced visibility that does not allow you to see the
working area.
Maintain the work area clean and work under well lit
conditions. Only use this machine in daylight or good
artificial light. Untidy and dark working areas, cause
accidents. Check and remove all objects that may
cause damages to you or to your machine.
