3.7General sources of danger
3 Safety
Residual dangers in particular are hazards when dealing with machines that, despite a safe design, cannot be eliminated.
These residual dangers are not obvious and may be the source of a possible injury or health hazard.
If unforeseeable residual dangers occur, the operation of the machine is to be
stopped immediately and the competent manager is to be informed. This manager shall make the following decisions and initiate everything required to eliminate the occurring risk.
If necessary, the machine manufacturer is to be informed.
3.8General safety instructions
The safety instructions in this chapter include the "general safety instructions"
that are listed in the manual according to the applicable standards. There may
be notes included that are not relevant for this machine.
3.8.1Working area
Keep the working area tidy. Cluttered or dark working areas can cause acci-
dents.
Always secure the machine against tipping, rolling, sliding and falling over.
Risk of injury!
100_0201_si_0003.fm13
Page 14
3Safety
3.8.2Service
Only have the machine repaired or maintained by qualified technically trained
personnel.
Only use original spare parts. This preserves the operational safety of the
machine.
3.8.3Safety of persons
Working under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication can cause seri-
ous injuries.
Appropriate protective equipment is to be worn for all work. Appropriate pro-
tective equipment reduces the risk of injury considerably.
Remove tools before operating the machine.
3.8.4Handling and use
Never operate machines whose switches are defective. Have defective
switches exchanged immediately. Machines with defective switches have a
high risk of injury.
Store unused machines out of the reach of children. The machine may only
be operated by authorized personnel.
Handle the machine with care. Have defective parts exchanged immediately
before the machine is operated. Defective machines have a high risk of accidents.
Use the machine, accessories, insertion tools, etc. according to these instruc-
tions.
3.9Specific safety instructions - Battery charger
3.9.1External influences
Only use the battery charger indoors and keep away from rain and moisture.
3.9.2Operational safety
Only charge approved rechargeable batteries from Wacker Neuson.
Damaged battery chargers may not be used.
Damaged rechargeable batteries may not be recharged.
Immediately de-energize the battery charger in the event of faults.

100_0201_si_0003.fm
Page 15
3.10Electrical safety
The connector plug of the battery charger must fit in the plug receptacle. The
connector plug may not be modified in any way. Do not use the adapter plug
together with grounded machines. Unmodified plugs and plug receptacles reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces. There is a higher risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is grounded.
Keep machines of any kind away from moisture. Penetrating moisture in-
creases the danger of an electric shock.
Do not divert the cable from its intended use. Protect cable from heat, oil and
sharp objects. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of an electric
shock.
When working outdoors, only use cables that are suitable for outdoor use.
The use of a cable that is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
If work in a moist environment cannot be avoided, a fault current protective
switch must be used. Fault current protective switches reduce the risk of an
electric shock.
3 Safety
3.10.1 Extension cable and cable drum
The following points must be observed in order to minimize the danger of injuries,
fire, electric shock and material damage:
The extension cable and cable drum must be inspected and undamaged.
Only use extension cables with grounded conductors and a grounded con-
ductor terminal to the plug and coupling.
Only use inspected extension cables and cable drums that are suitable for
construction site use.
Damaged extension cables and cable drums may not be used and must be
replaced immediately.
Cable drums and multi-pole plug receptacles must have the same require-
ments as extension cables.
Protect extension cables, cable drums, multi-pole plug receptacles and con-
nection couplings from moisture.
The extension cables and cable drums must be completely unrolled before
operation.

3Safety
3.11General safety instructions - Battery charger
The following notes must be observed:
Check the cable and plug before using the battery charger. A damaged bat-
tery charger, cable and plug increase the risk of an electric shock.
Do not use the battery charger if damage has been found. Do not open the
battery charger yourself, but rather only have it repaired by qualified technically trained personnel who are using original spare parts.
Only use the battery charger indoors and keep away from rain and moisture.
The penetration of water into the battery charger increases the risk of an electric shock.
Only charge approved rechargeable batteries from Wacker Neuson.
The battery charger may not be exposed to heat or fire. Storage in direct sun-
light is to be avoided.
The battery charger may not be exposed to any mechanical impacts.
Rechargeable batteries that are not intended for use together with the ma-
chine may not be used.
If the connections are dirty, clean these with a dry and clean cloth.
Once the charge cycle is complete, the rechargeable battery is to be discon-
nected from the battery charger.
Do not operate the battery charger on easily flammable surfaces (e.g. paper,
textiles) or in flammable environments. Risk of fire!
Do not operate the battery charger in freezing temperatures and do not place
it in direct sunlight.
The connector plug of the battery charger must fit in the plug receptacle. The
plug may not be changed in any way. Do not use any adapters, since these
are usually designed without a grounded conductor terminal. In this case,
there is an increased risk of electric shock.
Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces (tubes, heaters). If the body is
grounded, there is an increased risk of electric shock.
Keep battery charger away from children.
Always keep the battery charger clean and dry. Dirt accumulation results in
the danger of an electric shock.
Keep the power cable clean and avoid the effects of heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving machine parts on the cable. The power cable may not be used for
carrying or suspending the machine. Do not pull the cable to pull the plug out
of the plug receptacle.
Dispose of properly.

12Disposal
12.1Disposal of old electrical and electronic equipment
For customers in EU countries
This equipment is subject to the European directive for old electrical and electronic equipment (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - WEEE) as well as
the corresponding national laws. The WEEE directive provides the framework for
an EU-wide treatment of old electrical equipment.
The equipment is marked with the adjacent symbol of a crossed-out
garbage can. This means that you may not dispose of the equipment via the normal house waste, but rather it must be disposed of
in a separate collection in an environmentally friendly manner.
This equipment is provided as a professional electrical tool exclusively for commercial use (a so-called B2B device according to the WEEE directive). Unlike equipment mostly used in private households (so-called B2C devices), this equipment may therefore not be disposed of in some EU countries, such
as in Germany, at the collection points of public waste management organizations (e.g. municipal collection stations). If you are in doubt about where to dispose of your equipment, please ask your sales outlet about the proper disposal
procedure for B2B electrical equipment in your country and ensure the disposal
takes place according to the valid statutory provisions. Please also observe any
information regarding disposal in the purchase contract or in the general terms
and conditions of your sales outlet.
A professional disposal of this equipment avoids negative effects on human
health and the environment, helps with the targeted treatment of pollutants and
makes it possible to recycle valuable raw materials.
12 Disposal
For customers in other countries
A professional disposal of this equipment avoids negative effects on human
health and the environment, helps with the targeted treatment of pollutants and
makes it possible to recycle valuable raw materials. We therefore recommend
not disposing of this equipment via the normal household waste, but rather in a
separate collection in an environmentally friendly manner. National laws also
may under certain circumstances prescribe the separate disposal of electrical
and electronic products. Please ensure the disposal of this equipment according
to the provisions applicable in your country.
