Getting To Know The Machine; Description Of The Machine And Planned Use - Stiga CS 100 Li 20 A Operator's Manual

Do not throw electrical equipment away
with domestic waste. According to the
European Directive 2012/19/EU on
electrical and electronic equipment
waste and its implementation, according
to UK Regulation "The waste electrical and
electronic equipment regulations 2013 (as
amended)" and according to national regulations,
old electrical equipment must be collected
separately, for eco-compatible recycling. If
electrical equipment is disposed of in landfills or
in the ground, hazardous substances can leak
into the groundwater and contaminate the food
chain, damaging your health and well-being. For
further information on the disposal of this
product, contact your dealer or a domestic waste
collection service.
At the end of their working life, dispose of
batteries paying due attention to the
environment. Batteries contain material
classified as hazardous for you and the
environment. They must be removed and
disposed of separately at a facility that accepts
lithium-ion batteries.
Separate waste collection of the products
and packaging used allows the materials
to be recycled and reused. Reuse of
recycled materials help to prevent
environmental pollution and reduces the
demand for raw materials.

3. GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE

ATTENTION
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration
syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed.
To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level
in the actual conditions of use should also take
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it
is running idle but not actually doing the job. This
may significantly reduce the exposure level over
the total working period.
Helping to minimise your vibration and noise
exposure risk.
Always use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these
instructions and keep well lubricated (where
appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti
vibration and noise accessories.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high
vibration tool use across a number of days.
