design and these instructions.
- Ensure that the product is in good
condition and well maintained.
- Use correct application tools for the
product and ensure they in good
condition.

The prolonged use of the product,
exposes the client to vibrations that in
extreme cases and through many hours
of use of the product could cause the
"white finger syndrome" also known as
Raynaud phenomenon, This causes a
reduction in the tact of the fingers and
their capacity to regulate temperature
generating a lack of sensibility.This
sickness could in extreme cases cause
problems with the nerve endings.
The exposure to the vibrations is the
cause of the white finger syndrome, To
minimise this effect as much as possible,
follow the following recommendations:
-
Always use gloves.
-
Always have your hands warm.
-
Ensure that the cutting device is
always sharp.
- Take frequent breaks.
- Always hold the product tightly by the
handles If you detect any of the
symptoms of the white finger
syndrome, consult immediately with
your doctor.
Safety Rules For Extension Cord
Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier
the cord. To reduce the risk of
disconnection of appliance cord from
the extension cord during operating:
I) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1; or
II) Use one of the plug-receptacle
retaining straps or connectors described
in this manual.
