7.3.4. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
For your information:
Personal protective equipment helps reduce the risks the
operator is exposed to.
• The person operating this machine must wear suitable clothing. This means clothing covering
the entire body, protective gloves and closed footwear.
• Since your feet run a high risk when operating the machine, sturdy, closed shoes with non-slip
soles are a must. Shoes with a steel toe cap are highly recommended.
• To protect eyesight and hearing, ELIET recommends hearing protection and safety goggles.
• Dethatching can produce a considerable amount of dust. ELIET recommends using a dust mask
if this agitates your respiratory airways (masks should comply with the 89/686/EEC standard).
7.3.5. Danger zone
• The safe position for the operator is behind the machine, with both hands on the handlebar.
• Never allow bystanders within the danger zone - a circle of 10 m around the machine - while
working.
• The blades rotate in the opposite direction to the direction of travel. By pushing down on the
handlebar to lift the front wheels to perform e.g. a turning movement, the blades may project
earth or stones from the ground. Always make sure there are no persons, animals or objects
susceptible to damage in this area. If necessary, switch off the drive to the blades beforehand.
• Do not take risks! Stop the blade drive as soon as someone enters the danger zone.
• Shut off the engine when leaving the machine unattended.
• Once the engine is running, the operator's full attention must be on operating the machine.
• Protective covers are intended to shield off dangerous areas to avoid accidents. It is therefore
strictly prohibited to operate the machine or to activate the engine or any drive when protec-
tive covers are removed.
