FOR PROTECTION CLASS II MACHINES
• Machines must be powered via a current protector (RCD) with a maximum 30 mA tripping current.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
• Wear eye protection! The operation of machine can result in foreign objects being thrown into
your eyes which may result in severe eye damage. Normal glasses are not sufficient for eye
protection. For example, corrective glasses or sunglasses do not provide adequate protection
because they have not special safety glass and aren’t enough closed from the sides.
CAUTION! A
The machine is very noisy.
• Wear adequate noise protection equipment! The impact of noise can cause hearing damage
or hearing loss. Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
• Always wear sturdy shoes with nonslip soles. Risk of damaging the legs or risk of slipping on
wet or slippery ground. This protects against injuries and ensures a good footing.
• Safety equipment such as a dust mask or hard hat used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries, especially when the machining operation creates dust or there is
a risk of hitting your head on protruding or low level obstructions.
• After using the machine for a longer time, you may have troubles with the capillary return in hands.
However, you may prolong the time of use when wearing suitable gloves and taking regular breaks.
Remember that the time of using the machine may gat shorter in result of personal inclination to
poor capillary return, low outside temperature or strong grip of the machine while working.
• While mowing, always wear long trousers. Do not operate the machine when barefoot or
wearing open shoes.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Wear gloves when dealing with the blades. Risk of cuts.
• Use safety glasses and hearing protection. Additional protective equipment
for the head, arms, legs and feet is recommended. Appropriate protective, non-
cut clothing reduces the possibility of injuring a person by flying particles or by
accidentally touching the saw chain.
