2.3 DURING OPERATION

Work area

• Do not use the machine
in environments at risk of
explosion, in the presence
of flammable liquids, gas
or powder. Power tools
create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
• Work only in daylight or
with good artificial light in
good visibility conditions.
• Keep persons, children and
animals away from the working
area. Get another adult to keep
the children under supervision.
• Check that there is nobody
within at least 15 metres of the
machine's range of action.
• Avoid working with wet grass,
in the rain and when there
is a risk of a thunderstorm,
especially lightening.
• Where possible, avoid working
on wet, slippery ground or in
any case on uneven or steep
ground that does not guarantee
stability for the operator.
• Do not expose the machine
to rain or wet environments.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
• Pay careful attention to uneven
ground (hills, dips), slopes,
hidden hazards and obstacles
that could limit visibility.
• Be very careful near ravines,
ditches or embankments.
• Look out for traffic when using
the machine near the road.
• Always assess wind
direction and never work
against the wind.
• Do not use of the machine
near open windows.
• Do not use the machine
on paved or gravel-
covered surfaces, to
avoid that the removed
material causes injuries.
• During use, prevent
removed material from
accumulating in the outfeed
area that could be projected
into the vacuum inlets.
Conduct
• When performing work
utilising the machine as
blower, the machine must
always be held firmly with
the hand on the handgrip.
• When performing work using
the machine as vacuum
collector (of provided), it must
always be held firmly with
both hands, with the right
hand on the upper handgrip
and the left hand on the lower
handgrip, so that the collection
bag is on the operator's left.
• Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
• Always use caution and
take on a firm and well-
balanced position.
• Do not lose your balance.
• Make sure to avoid violent
impacts against foreign bodies
and prevent the air flow from
throwing any material and dust.
• Do not direct the air jet
towards persons or animals.
• When used as a blower always
pay the utmost attention to
prevent removed material or
dust from injuring people or
animals or damaging property.
