1.1 EXPLANATION OF THE CHARACTERS AND ICONS USED 1.1.
1.1.3 DISPLAY WARNINGS "HOLDER BLOCKED!" - If the holder is blocked, the motor speed and suction turbine are switched off after about 5 seconds. This warning disappears after about 10 seconds, after which the holder speed can be reset. "EXTRACTION OVERHEATING" - If the permissible air temperature in the suction turbine housing is exceeded, the suction turbine and holder are switched off. Once the temperature has fallen by around 10 - 15 °C, this warning disappears and the holder speed can be reset. 1.
Please keep the packaging (box, plastic bag, foam) to use for returning the device in case of any maintenance work. 1.4 RECYCLING Old equipment must be disposed of as electronic waste and should not be treated as domestic waste. Full dust bags can be disposed of with general rubbish. Please make sure you follow any local guidelines in this respect. Special country-specific requirements should also be taken into account.
2. INTENDED USAGE The PODOLOG ECO and PODOLOG ONE footcare systems operate rotating tools such as nail file drills and grinders for the removal of hard skin, calluses, nails, etc. from feet and hands. The device is intended for use in the following fields of activity: Footcare, nail design, cosmetics, wellness and related professions. Any other usage is undertaken at your own risk and could be dangerous. Improper usage of the device can lead to personal and material damage.
catalogue from HELLMUT RUCK GMBH, in the section "Rotary instruments". − Operators should not come into contact with the foot controller connection and the client at the same time. − Protective low voltage must be maintained. − Operators must wear eye, mouth and nose protectors and gloves while using the equipment. − During treatment, the operator must ensure that hair or loose items such as towels, tamponades, etc. cannot get onto the area of the rotary tools.
If any germ-intensive work has been carried out, disinfected and sterilised tools must be used during the next work process, to treat any unaffected areas of skin or nail. 3.1.1 ALLERGY RISKS In the case of clients with intolerance to components made of medicinal steel, there exists a possibility, albeit a small one, of an allergic reaction.
3.1.3 CLIENT INJURY CAUSED BY HEAT, OUTPUT OF ENERGY AND MATTER, HEAT AS A RESULT OF FRICTION ON THE SKIN OR NAILS Heat development through friction on the skin is a problem, particularly when working at higher rev. counts with large-surface nail file drills or tools. In cases such as these, the working and contact surfaces should not be too small. You shouldn't do deep, point-focused work but you should make wider, sideways cutting movements across the skin.
The efficient extraction of the PODOLOG ECO / ONE greatly improves visibility and reduces the risk of accidental deeper injuries. 3.2 OPERATOR RISKS The extraction of potentially pathogenic dust significantly reduces the risks caused by transferable germs (micro-organisms). Risks to the operator through inhalation are kept to a minimum. For reasons of hygiene we recommend the wearing of face/mouth protection and gloves. 3.2.
3.2.3 INJURY CAUSED BY HAIR, JEWELLERY OR CLOTHING COMING INTO CONTACT WITH ROTARY TOOLS For reasons of working safety, it is vital that long hair is tied back closely to the head or covered with a cap or hat. For reasons of hygiene, the wearing of jewellery and watches should be avoided. Working clothes should be selected so that no fringing or loose material can get caught up in the tool. 4. SET-UP 4.
− Do not store the PODOLOG ECO / ONE directly next to or with other devices. Should this be necessary, please make sure that all intended functions of the PODOLOG ECO / ONE work properly. The use of other equipment than that prescribed may result in increased emissions or reduced immunity to interference. Risk of strangulation from holder hose and power cable. Keep children away from the device. Risk of swallowing in the case of required accessories (small parts), e.g. nail file drills.
The instructions regarding operation and transport of the device must be adhered to. Please ensure that you have easy access to the mains plug at all times so that the device can be unplugged from the mains without difficulty. The power plug represents the separator to the mains power supply.
