Use Limitations; Maintenance, Storage - Stiga BC 80 Li Gebrauchsanweisung

If something breaks or an
accident occurs during work,
turn off the motor immediately
and move the machine away to
prevent further damage; if an
accident occurs with injuries
or third parties are injured,
carry out the first aid measures
most suitable for the situation
immediately and contact the
medical authorities for any
necessary health care. Carefully
remove any debris which could
cause damage or injury to
persons or animals if ignored.
Prolonged exposure to
vibrations can cause injuries and
neurovascular disorders (also
called "Raynaud's syndrome"
or "white hand"), especially to
people suffering from circulation
disorders. The symptoms can
regard the hands, wrists and
fingers and are shown through
loss of sensitivity, torpor,
itching, pain and discolouring
of or structural changes to
the skin. These effects can
be worsened by low ambient
temperatures and/or by gripping
the hand grips excessively
tightly. If the symptoms occur,
the length of time the machine
is used must be reduced
and a doctor consulted.
