Warning - Dangers Caused By Electrical Current - Viking LE 240 Gebrauchsanleitung

In particular, any tampering with the
machine which increases the power output
or motor speed is forbidden.
It is not permitted to transport objects,
animals or persons, particularly children,
on the machine.
Particular care is required during use in
public green spaces, parks, sports fields,
along roads and in agricultural and forestry
businesses.
Caution! Danger to health due
to vibrations. Excessive
exposure to vibrations can
result in damage to the
cardiovascular or nervous system,
particularly in persons with cardiovascular
problems. Please consult a physician if
you experience symptoms that may have
been caused by vibrational loads.
Symptoms of this kind principally affect the
fingers, hands or wrists and include
(incomplete list):
– numbness,
– pain,
– muscular weakness,
– skin discolouration,
– unpleasant tingling sensation.
Hold the handlebar tightly, but not tensed,
with both hands in the designated
locations during operation.
Plan your working times so that more
severe physical strains over a longer
period are avoided.

4.2 Warning – dangers caused by
electrical current
Warning – risk of
electric shock!
All power supply
components (power
cable, mains plug, ON/OFF switch,
extension cable) must be free from
damage and conform with the
regulations for electrical safety.
Damaged cables, connectors and plugs,
or power or extension electric cables that
do not conform with regulations, must not
be used. Therefore, check the power
supply and electric or extension cable
regularly for signs of damage or ageing
(brittleness) before each use.
Never use a damaged extension cable.
Replace defective cables with new ones
and never repair extension cables.
Extension reels must always be fully
unwound before use.
Never use the machine if the cables are
damaged or worn. Check the power cable
in particular for damage and ageing.
Maintenance and repair work on power
cables must only be performed by
specially qualified technicians.
Danger of electric shock!
Do not connect a damaged cable to the
mains and never touch a damaged cable
before it has been disconnected from the
mains. Damaged cables can result in
contact with live parts.
Do not touch the scarifying unit/aerator
roller until the machine has been
disconnected from the mains.
Always ensure that the power cables used
are adequately protected by a fuse.
Although the motor is
splashproof, do not use the
machine when it is raining or in
wet environments.
Only use extension cables that are
insulated against moisture for outdoor use
which are suitable for use with the
machine ( 10.1).
Detach electric cables at the plug and
socket and not by pulling on the electric
cable.
Keep the electric or extension cable away
from the blades/spring-tines when
scarifying/combing to avoid damage that
could result in contact with live parts.
In case of accident or malfunction,
immediately switch off the scarifier and
disconnect the mains plug.
If the power or extension cable has been
damaged or tangled while using the
machine (e.g. driven over), immediately
switch off the scarifier and disconnect the
mains plug. Check the cable and replace if
necessary.
It must be noted that current fluctuations
can damage the machine when it is
connected to a power generator.
Only connect the machine to a power
supply that is protected by means of a
residual current-operated protective
device with a release current of a
maximum of 30 mA. Your electrician can
provide further information.
For reasons of electrical safety, the electric
cable must always be correctly installed on
the handlebar.
