Transportation And Storage; Residual Risks - Ryobi RBC36X26B Traduction Des Instructions Originales

when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot
cut. This contact may cause the blade to stop for an
instant, and suddenly "thrust" the product away from the
object that was hit. This reaction can be violent enough
to cause the operator to lose control of the product.
Blade thrust may occur without warning if the blade
snags, stalls, or binds. This is more likely to occur in
areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut.
For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds
■
being cut from the right to the left. In the event that an
unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this
practice could minimize the blade thrust reaction. Both
hands must be used at all times to control the product.

■
transporting.

■
blade is fitted, cover it with the blade protector.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise in use and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:
Contact with cutting means. Ensure that the blade
protectors are fi tted when the machine is not in use. Keep
hands and feet away from the blades at all times.
Kickback can occur when using the brushcutter. Ensure
proper control by using both hands on the designated
the product against
handles. Read and follow the directions elsewhere in this
manual to help reduce the risk of kickback.
Risk of falling objects. During brush cutting, wear head
protection if there is any risk of falling objects.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld products
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness, and blanching of the fi ngers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
