2.3 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
NEVER USE THE MACHINE:
• in a work area exposed to re risks; during thunderstorms; or in corrosive, ammable, or explosive atmospheres, or in
the presence of harmful dusts.
• with the engine running in an area which is not well venlated. When using the machine indoors or in poorly venlated
areas, adopt all necessary precauons to prevent build-up of toxic exhaust gas.
• at night or in poorly lit environments if not equipped with a oodlight.
• in the presence of intense electromagnec (EM) elds (e.g. telecommunicaons pylons, radar systems or suchlike) unless
a suitable technical assessment of the situaon has been made. Generally speaking, the distance to be maintained
between the system installaon area – which can be dened as a “controlled-access area” in relaon to EM exposure –
and the other freely accessible work areas, depends on the technological characteriscs of the equipment and must be
taken into account by the responsible person who carries out the risk assessment.
• on public roads. If the machine is used on roads open to trac, suitable signs must be set up and the work area
cordoned o, both for safety purposes and to comply with laws in force.
• with unauthorised persons standing or moving within the work area. The operator must stop the machine and clear the
work area of any unauthorised persons that may be there.
• at events and shows without taking certain precauons to prevent accidental movements and to protect the general
public. Bear in mind any changes in the environmental condions which could alter the consistency of the ground; the
wind; and possible hydraulic leakage.
• if a failure has been detected. All work must be stopped unl the fault has been remedied.
• when the machine has not been properly inspected and serviced.
• without safety devices.
• as a crane, for liing loads or to pull or tow anything.
• with loads over the level permied on the work plaorm (people + equipment).
• with a lateral force in the plaorm over the level permied.
• if there are obstrucons on the plaorm.
• when it is loaded on vehicles, ships, scaolding or such like.
• with material or objects suspended from the structure.
• as an earth for the welding machine.
