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:

 

Injury caused by the blade. The blade cannot be guarded while 

cutting. Keep the blade away from yourself and others. Cover it 

with the blade protector when the product is not in use.

 

Injury caused by vibration. Always use the right tool for the 

job, use designated handles, and restrict working time and 

exposure.

 

Hearing injury caused by exposure to noise. Wear ear protection 

and limit exposure.

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may 

contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome. Symptoms 

may  include  tingling,  numbness,  and  blanching  of  the  fingers, 

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 the these 

symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operator 

to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

 

Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit, 

wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported 

that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s 

Syndrome.

 

After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood 

circulation.

 

Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per 

day. 

If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately 

discontinue use and see your doctor.

 

WARNING!  Injuries  may  be  caused,  or  aggravated,  by 

prolonged use of the product.
