Failure of the work piece, of accessories, or even
of the machine itself may generate high velocity
projectiles. During operating, splinters or other
particles from the compacted material may become
projectiles and cause personal injury by striking the
operator or other persons.To reduce these risk:
Use approved personal protective equipment and sa-
fety helmet, including impact resistant eye protection
with side protection.
Make sure that no unauthorised persons trespass into
the working zone.
Keep the work place free from foreign objects.
WARNING Projectiles
WARNING Rotating blades hazards
There is a risk of hands and feet getting caught by
the rotating blades when the machine is running.
This can cause personal injury.
Never place your hands or feet inside the protection
ring when the machine is running
WARNING Motions hazards
When using the machine to perform work-related
activities, you may experience discomfort in the
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the
body.
Adopt a comfortable posture whilst maintaining
secure footing and avoiding awkward off-balanced
postures.
Changing posture during extended tasks may help
avoid discomfort and fatigue.
In case of persistent or recurring symptoms, consult a
qualified health professional.
WARNING Vibrations hazards
Normal and proper use of the machine exposes the
operator to vibration.Regular and frequent exposure
to vibration may cause, contribute to, or aggravate
injury or disorders to the operator’sf ingers, hands,
wrists, arms, shoulders and/or nerves and blood
supply or other bodyparts, including debilitating
and/or permanent injuries or disorders that may
develop gradually over periods of weeks, months, or
years.Such injuries or disorders may include damage
to the blood circulatory system, damage to the ner-
vous system, damage to joints, and possibly damage
to other body structures.
If numbness, persistent recurring discomfort,
burning sensation, stiffness, throbbing, tingling,
pain, clumsiness, weakened grip,whitening of the
skin, or other symptoms occurat any time, when
operating the machine or when not operating the
machine, stop operating the machine, tell your
employer and seek medical attention. Continued
use of the machine after the occurrence of any
such symptom may increase the risk of symptoms
becoming more severe and /or permanent.
Operate and maintain the machine as recommen-
ded in these instructions, to prevent an unnecessary
increase in vibration.
The following may help to reduce exposure to
vibration for the operator:
If the machine has vibration absorbing handles, keep
them in a central position, avoid pressing the handles
into the end stops.
When the percussion mechanism is activated, the
only body contact with the machine yous hould have
are your hands on the handle or handles. Avoid any
other contact, for example supporting any part of
the body against the machine or leaning onto the
machine trying to increase the feed force.
Make sure that the machine is well-maintained and
not worn out.
Immediately stop working if the machine
suddenly starts to vibrate strongly. Before resuming
the work, find and remove the cause of the increased
vibrations.
Participate in health surveillance or monitoring,
medical exams and training programs offered by
your employer and when required by law.
When working in cold conditions wear warm
clothing and keep hands warm and dry.
See the”Noise and vibration declaration
statement”for the machine, including the declared
vibration values. This information can be found at
the end of these Safety and operating instructions.
