The noise of the machine is uncomfortable.
Always use ear protection. If you use this
machine very often, visit your doctor regularly
to check up on your hearing capacity.
Attention! As you are working with ear
protectors, you must pay more attention to
visual warnings as you will hear less because
of the ear protectors.
You must carry with you:
• Tooling.
• Signalling tape to limit work area.
• Mobile phone (in case of an emergency).
VIBRATIONS
The prolonged use of the machine, exposes the client
to vibrations that in extreme cases and through many
hours of use of the machine could cause the "white finger
syndrome" also known as raynaud phenomenon. This
causes a reduction in the tact of the fingers and their
capacity to regulate temperature generating a lack of
sensibility. This sickness could in extreme cases cause
problems with the nerve endings.
The exposure to the vibrations is the cause of the white
finger syndrome. To minimise this effect as much as
possible, follow the following recommendations:
• Always use gloves.
• Always have your hands warm.
• Ensure that the cutting device is always sharp.
• Take frequent breaks.
• Always hold the machine tightly by the handles if
you detect any of the symptoms of the white finger
syndrome, consult immediately with your doctor.
2.2 Specific safety instructions
WORKING AREA SECURITY
Do
not
use
atmospheres or in the presence of inflammable
liquids, gases and powders. Never start up the
machine in closed areas such as rooms and garages.
This machine expels dangerous gases through the
exhaust that will accumulate in the area and since
they are toxic, they could represent a danger to the
end user, to other people, animals and plants that are
indoors.
Do not start the machine in a closed area.
The exhaust fumes and the vapours of the
petrol all contain carbon monoxide and other
dangerous chemical substances. In case of gas
concentration due to insufficient ventilation, eliminate
from the work area everything that impedes the correct
flow of air and do not work in this area again until it
is well ventilated and the gas concentration does not
happen again.

Maintain children, other people and animals
well clear of the machine whilst working.
Distractions can cause the loss of control. Be vigilant
and stop any children, other people and animals coming
into the working area.
When work must be carried out by two or more people at
the same time make sure you can control and see the other
people so as to maintain an adequate working distance
between users to guarantee security.
Do not use this machine when there are other unprotected
persons in the work area. Other persons must wear goggles,
ear protectors and gloves at all times.
Do not use this machine at night, with fog or with reduced
visibility that does not allow you to see the working area.
Only use this machine with daylight or under very good
artificial light conditions.
Maintain the work area clean and work under well lit
conditions. Untidy and dark working areas, cause accidents.
Check and remove all those objects that could cause
damages to yourself and the machine.
OIL AND PETROL SECURITY
IMPORTANT: Petrol and oil are highly flammable.
Should the petrol or the oil catch fire, use a dry
powder fire extinguisher.
Petrol and oil are dangerous, avoid contact of oil or
petrol with skin and eyes. Do not inhale or drink. If oil or
petrol has been drunk, visit your doctor straight away. If
you come into contact with petrol or oil, clean yourself
with plenty of water and soap as soon as possible. If
after this, you still feel your eyes or skin are itchy visit
your doctor straight away.
Do not refill the machine in a closed area.

concentration due to insufficient ventilation, eliminate
from the work area everything that impedes the correct
flow of air and do not work in this area again until it
is well ventilated and the gas concentration does not

Petrol and/or oil are highly flammable and
explosive under certain circumstances. Do
not smoke and do not come close to the
flames, sparks or heat sources. Do not smoke when
handling fuel, when refilling or when working.
Do not refill in areas where there are flames, sparks or
heat sources. Do not smoke while refilling. Fill deposit in
well ventilated areas and with the engine stopped.
Do not overfill the petrol deposit. In case of
petrol leakage please ensure you eliminate
these before starting. Move the machine away
from the area of spillage and avoid creating any
source of ignition until petrol vapours have dissipated.
