2.2 Operation safety
The machine is designed to protect its attendant from parts flying off the cut area. Do not remove any passive nor active safety features. By doing so
you expose yourself to risk of injury risk.
2.2.1 Safety regulations
Machine attendants have to be aged 18 or over. The attendant must be familiar with the machine user manual and have basic knowledge of
safety work principles.
Always switch off the engine and wait for the cutting disc to stop before starting any activity near the machine! Always switch the engine off
before leaving the machine!
Never leave the engine running at the maximum engine speed for a long time or running idle while the clutch of the cutting blade drive and
wheel drive are turned off! The machine wheel drive parts could be damaged (V-belt, belt pulley, clutch pulley, etc.)!
Before each machine use check all its parts to see if they are loose or damaged (especially the operating mechanism and its covers). Revealed
damaged parts must be removed immediately. For repairs, use the original spare parts only.
Remove any solid parts form the stand before cutting (such as stones, wires, loose construction leftovers, etc.), as these could be thrown away
or damage the machine. If these cannot be removed, avoid them.
The machine is equipped with a rotating implement. Maximum blade circumferential velocity is
68 m.s-1
. It is therefore important to keep
other persons at a safe distance while the machine is operating (there is a possibility of the cut stand or solid objects chipping off)!
Since the recommended noise and vibration levels are exceeded, follow the following instructions when operating the machine:
a) Protect your ears with appropriate safety devices according to ČSN EN 352-1 (shell-shaped ear protectors) or ČSN EN 352-2
(plug ear protectors). Ask your dealer for these safety devices.
b) After every 20 minutes maximum of operating the machine interrupt the work for a 10 minute break. During these breaks, the
machine attendant must not be exposed to other noise or vibrations.
