Installation
nance. This leads to health damage. In this
case, immediately switch off the tool and
have it repaired by an authorised service
workshop.
■
The degree of stress due to vibration de-
pends on the work to be performed or on the
use of the tool. Estimate the stress and plan
appropriate work breaks. This considerably
reduces stress due to vibration over the en-
tire working time.
■
Extensive use of the tool exposes the opera-
tor to vibrations, which can lead to circulatory
issues ("white fingers"). To avoid this risk,
wear gloves and keep your hands warm. If
any symptoms of "white fingers" occur, im-
mediately consult a physician. These symp-
toms include: Numbness, loss of feeling, tin-
gling, itching, pain, reduced muscular
strength, changes in the colour or condition
of the skin. Normally these conditions affect
the fingers, hands or pulse. The risk increas-
es at low temperatures.
■
Take long breaks during your working day so
you can recover from the noise and the vibra-
tions. Plan your work in such a way that the
use of appliances that generate strong vibra-
tions is spread over several days.
■
If you notice an unpleasant sensation or disc-
olouration of the skin on your hands when us-
ing the tool, stop work immediately. Take suf-
ficient work breaks. Without sufficient breaks,
a hand/arm vibration syndrome can occur.
■
Minimise your risk of being exposed to vibra-
tions. Maintain the tool according to the in-
structions in the operating instructions.
■
If the tool is used frequently, contact your
dealer to purchase anti-vibration accessories
(e.g. handles).
■
Avoid working with the tool at temperatures
below 10 °C. Define how the vibration load
can be limited in a work plan.
4.3 Noise pollution
A certain level of noise exposure from this appli-
ance is inevitable. Carry out noisy work at ap-
proved and specified time periods. Observe rest
periods as necessary and restrict the duration of
the work to a minimum. For your personal protec-
tion and protection of persons in the vicinity, ap-
propriate hearing protection must be worn.
