Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or
long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for
an extended period should first be examined
by a doctor and then have regular medical
check-ups to ensure medical problems are
not being caused or worsened from use.
Pregnant women or people who have impaired
blood circulation to the hand, past hand
injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes,
or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this
tool. If you feel any medical or physical
symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
is a choice between different processes.
4. Include vibration-free periods
each day of work.
5. Grip workpiece as lightly as possible
(while still keeping safe control of
it). Let the tool do the work.
6. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
