The risk

This product poses a serious risk of injuries, fire and cuts because:- sharp edges are located close to the foot representing a driving hazard;- moving elements (chain) have no protection to avoid body parts becoming trapped when the product is in operation and to avoid foreign bodies like stones or other objects interfering with its correct operation;- fingers can get trapped interfering with the normal handling of the drive and control devices which can cause accidents; - the petrol pipe is not made of rigid material but of very weak, flexible rubber, which risks cracking in use due to overheating because it is in contact with the exhaust pipe. This results in a risk of explosion because it is located just above the engine.The product does not comply with the Machinery Directive.
