OPTIONAL THUMB SUPPORT AND HANDLE ADJUSTMENT
Your Whizard Quantum
®
Trimmer has been supplied with a spacer ring or optional thumb
support. If using the optional thumb support, the operator's thumb should be fully supported and
rest comfortably in the support. The thumb support has been optimized to fit most hands
comfortably.
Fitting the correct size handle to the grip of an operator's hand is a very important step when
trying to reduce risks associated with cumulative trauma disorders.
NOTE:
S,M,L markings on
handle.
Here is a very simple procedure to determine correct handle size:
STEP 1 - Assemble three (3) knives each with a different size handle.
STEP 2 - Allow the user to hold the knife and apply the grip pressure normally used during the
job operation.
NOTE
:
If the operator normally wears a glove, this process should be done with all the gloves
used in normal operation.
The operator should choose the handle that is most comfortable. Allow the operator to work with
this handle on a tool for several days. If the operator is not comfortable with the handle selection,
allow the operator to try a different size.
