Residual Risk
Even if the machine is used in accordance with the instructions, it is not possible to rule
out all the risks associated with its use. Following risks may occur:
●Mechanical hazards of cuts caused by ejected parts.
●Electrical hazards due to contact with high voltage parts (direct contact) or due to
equipment failure (indirect contact).
●Thermal hazards caused by operating heat sources can cause burns or scalding and
other injuries that occur when in contact with hot machine parts.
●Risk of noise can lead to loss of hearing (deafness) and other physiological diseases
(e.g. loss of balance, loss of consciousness).
●Danger of vibration (causes vascular and neurological damage to the hands, such as
white finger disease).
●Danger due to neglect of ergonomic principles when assembling the machine, such
as the risk of unhealthy posture or excessive overload and unnatural posture of
hands and arms, due to the position of the handle, which ensures the balance of the
machine.
●Danger from unintentional starting or speeding due to an error or malfunction.
●Danger due to improper parking of the machine in bad weather conditions,
regarding the grip and arrangement of the engine controls.
●Danger due to machine controls failing in terms of strength handling, such as control
