SECTION 1
SAFETY
•
This machine is designed to eliminate the possible risks arising from the use of it. However,
risks DO reside, and these residual risks are not clearly recognisable and may cause personal
injury or property damage, and possibly death. If such unpredictable and unrecognisable risks
become apparent, the machine must be stopped immediately, and operator or his supervisor
must take appropriate measure to eliminate such risks. It is sometimes necessary that the man-
ufacturer must be informed of such event for future counter measuring.
Fuel Safety
Fuel
is
fl
ammable. It may cause injury and property damage. Shut down
the
engine,
extinguish
all
open
fl
ames and do not smoke while
fi
lling the
fuel tank. Always wipe up any spilled fuel.
•
Before re-fuelling, switch off the engine and allow it to cool.
•
When re-fuelling, use a proper funnel, and avoid spilling over the engine.
•
When re-fuelling, DO NOT smoke or allow naked
fl
ames in the area.
•
Spilt fuel must be made safe immediately by using sand. If fuel is spilt on your clothes, change
them.
•
Store fuel in an approved, purpose made container away from heat and sources of ignition.
Health & Safety
Vibration
Some vibration from the compacting operation is transmitted through the handle to the operator’s hands.
Ensure operator rotation and do not exceed the maximum recommended usage times.
Dust
The compaction process can produce dust, which may be hazardous to your health. Always wear a
mask that is suited to the type of dust being produced.
Fuel
Do not ingest fuel or inhale fuel vapors and avoid contact with your skin. Wash fuel splashes immedi-
ately. If you get fuel in your eyes, irrigate with copious amounts of water and seek medical attention as
soon as possible.
The exhaust fumes produced by this machine are highly toxic and can kill!
Exhaust Fumes
Do not operate the Rammer indoors or in con
fi
ned spaces. Make sure the work area is adequately
ventilated.
