Organisational measures
• The operating instructions must always be
stored readily available at the place of ap-
plication of the machine (in the tool case or
in the container for this purpose).
• The operating instructions of the combus-
tion engine are a part of the overall operat-
ing instructions of the machine.
• The generally applying legal and other
binding accident prevention and environ-
ment protection regulations must be ob-
served and instructed supplementary to
the operating instructions.
• Such duties may also concern, e.g., the
handling of hazardous substances or the
disposition/wearing of personal protection
equipment, as well as provisions of traffic
law or occupational health regulations.
• The operating instructions must be supple-
mented by instructions for taking into ac-
count factory-related particularities, includ-
ing supervision and notification duties.
• The personnel ordered to perform activi-
ties with this machine must have read
these operating instructions, and in partic-
ular the safety section. It is too late to do
this during work. This is particularly true
for staff only working occasionally on the
machine, e.g. for repair and maintenance.
• The safety and danger awareness of the
personnel during work, taking into account
the operating instructions, must be control-
led at least from time to time.
• The personnel must not wear open long
hair, loose-fitting clothes, or jewelry, in-
cluding rings. Danger of injury due to
catching or pulling-in.
• Personal protection equipment must be
used as far as necessary or as required by
regulations.
• All safety and danger indications at the
machine must be observed.
• All safety and danger indications on/at the
machine must be kept complete and legi-
ble.
• Any changes, conversions, add-ons to the
machine, which could impair safety, must
not be performed without the approval of
the manufacturer. This also applies to the
installation and the adjustment of safety
devices and valves as well as for welding
on load-bearing parts.
• Spare parts must comply with the technical
requirements determined by the manufac-
turer. This is always ensured for original
spare parts.
• Hydraulic hoses must be replaced in the
defined or appropriate intervals, even if
safety-relevant defects cannot be detect-
ed.
• Any intervals for recurring inspections/
tests defined or indicated in the operating
instructions must be kept.
• A workshop equipment corresponding to
the work is absolutely necessary for per-
forming servicing work.
• The installation of tires requires sufficient
knowledge and appropriate mounting
tools.
• The storage places and the use of fire ex-
tinguishers must be announced.
• Fire alarm and fire extinguishing possibili-
ties must be observed.
