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.
2.3. WORKING AREA SECURITY
Do not use the machine in explosive atmospheres
or in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases
and powders. Electric machines can release sparks
that could ignite the inflammable liquids, gases and
powders.
The area included in a 15m radius around
the machine must be considered risk zone
and nobody should be there while the machine is
working and, when necessary, a cord and warning
signals must be used around the working area.
Maintain children and passers-by well clear when
working with the machine. Distractions can cause a
lack of control.
When work is to be performed simultaneously by two
or more persons, always check for the presence and
location of others so as maintain a distance between
each person sufficient to ensure safety.
No utilice esta máquina por la noche, con niebla o
con una visibilidad reducida que no le permita ver con
claridad la zona de trabajo.
Maintain the workng area clean and work with good
light. Untidy working areas and dark conditions can
cause accidents.
Inspect the working area and remove all stones, wood,
cables and strange objects that could be touched and
propelled by the moving parts of the machine.
2.4. ELECTRIC SECURITY
Connect this machine only to alternate current
230v/50Hz.
Do not expose this machine to rain or humid
conditions. The water that enters the machine will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Maintain the cable well clear of the cutting element at
all times.
The electric plug of the machine must coincide with
the mains. Never modify the electric plug in any way.
Untouched plugs will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such us
pipes, radiators, electric kitchens and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed.
Do not touch the mains or the cables with wet hands.
Do not overreach the cable. Do not use the cable to
carry, lift or unplug the machine. Maintain the cable
well away of heat sources, oil, sharp edges and pieces
in movement. Damaged cables or tangled cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
