Safety Precautions - Ribimex Ribiland PRBAT20/S Bedienungs- Und Wartungsanleitung

Wear hearing protection while operating the power tool.
The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration total value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
c. Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the power tool is being used over longer period
of time or not adequately managed and properly maintained.
Warning: The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared
total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
There is the need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).
12. Vibrations
Prolonged used of a tool (or other machines) may expose the operator to vibrations tht may product
whitefinger disease (Raynaud's syndrome) or carpal tunnel syndrome.
These conditions reduce the hand's ability to feel and regulate temperature, produce numbness and
may cause nerve and circulation damage and tissue necrosis.
All factors that contribute to the whitefinger disease are not known.
Some of the factors mentioned in the development of the whitefinger disease are: cold weather,
smoking and diseases or physical conditions that affect blood vessels and blood transportation, as
well as, high vibration levels and long periods of exposure to vibration.
To help in the prevention and reducing the risk of the whitefinger disease, please note the following:
-- wear gloves and keep your hands warm;
-- maintain a firm grip at all times, but do not squeeze the handles with constant pressure,
-- take frequent pauses
The operator should closely monitor the condition of their hands and fingers, and if any of the
symptoms appear, seek medical advice immediately.
13. Electromagnetic field
Warning! This machine produces an electromagnetic field during operation. This field may under
some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and the medical
implant manufacturer before operating this machine

3.5- Safety precautions

1- Initial preparation before operation
- When you operate the tool, always wear full-length trousers, as well as sturdy, closed footwear that
provide good support.
Do NOT operate the tool wearing shorts, when barefoot or wearing open sandals!
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be drawn into the moving parts. Keep long hair
away from the moving parts (for ex. put it in a hair net.)
- Wear protective equipment and always wear protective goggles while operating the tool.
Wearing protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip footwear, protective gloves, a helmet
and hearing protection (depending on the type and application of the electrical device concerned)
reduces the risk of injury.
- When performing work that generates dust, wear a dust protective mask to prevent dust irritation.
- The product should only be operated when its accessories are in perfect working order.
Any damaged or defective components should be repaired immediately by a qualified technician.
Never attempt to use an incomplete, not fully assembled or modified tool.
Under no circumstances should the tool be operated while safety devices or protective guards or
shields are damaged or if safety equipment such as protective devices is not installed.
