General Safety Regulations - IKRA HESI 750-1 Hurricane Instrucciones De Manejo

Warning!
The prolonged utilisation of a tool will subject the user to vibration and shocks that could lead to Raynaud's syndrome
or Carpal tunnel syndrome.
This condition reduces the ability of the hand to sense and regulate temperature, causes numbness and a sensation
of heat and can lead to damage to the nervous system and the circulatory system and to necrosis.
Not all factors that lead to Raynaud's syndrome are known but cold water, smoking and illnesses that impact the blood
vessels and the circulatory system as well as severe or long-lasting exposure to vibrations are known to be factors in
the development of Raynaud's syndrome.
Observe the following in order to reduce the risk of Raynaud's syndrome and Carpal tunnel syndrome:
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Make sure the device is well maintained. A tool with loose components or with damaged or worn-out dampers will have
a disposition towards increased vibrations.
• Always hold the handle firmly but do not clutch it constantly with excessive force. Take breaks often.
All of the above precautions cannot exclude the risk of Raynaud's syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore,
with long-term or regular use it is advisable to keep a close watch on the condition of your hands and fingers. Seek
medical attention immediately in the event of any of the above symptoms appearing.

2. General safety regulations

This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with an impaired physical, senso-
ry or mental capacity or insufficient experience and/or insufficient knowledge unless they are super-
vised by a person responsible for their safety or receive instructions from that person in the use of the
machine. Children should be supervised in order to ensure that they do not play with the machine.
Remain alert, pay attention to what you are doing and proceed sensibly when working with an electric
tool. Do not use the machine if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
General safety information for power tools
Warning! Read all safety-related information and safety instructions! Failure to observe
the safety information and instructions may result in electric shock, burns and/or severe injury.
Keep the safety information and instructions for future reference.
The term 'power tool' as used in the safety information and instructions includes both mains-operated
tools (with power cord) and battery-operated tools (without power cord).
1) Safety at the workplace
a) Keep your working area clean, tidy and well-lit. Disorder and poorly lit working areas may
result in accidents.
b) Do not operate the power tool in potentially explosive environments containing combus-
tible fluids, gases or dusts. Power tools generate sparks that may ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away while you are operating the power tool. Distractions
may result in the operator loosing control over the tool.
2) Electrical safety
a) The mains plug of the power tool must fit into the mains socket. The plug must not be
modified in any way. Do not use adapter plugs/connectors in combination with tools with
protective earthing. Unmodified plugs and fitting sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces as pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain or moisture in general. The penetration of water into a power
tool increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the cord to carry or hang up the tool or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges or moving parts of the tool. Damaged or
tangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
