HEALTH SURVEILLANCE
All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to
help identity any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease
progression and help employees stay in work.
VIBRATION AND NOISE REDUCTION
To reduce the impact of noise and vibration emission, limit the time of operation,
use low-vibration and low-noise operating modes as well as wear personal
protective equipment.
Take the following points into account to minimise the vibration and noise exposure
risks:
WARNING!
The vibration emission value during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on
how the tool is used:
•
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
• The tool being in good condition and well maintained.
•
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and
in good condition.
• The tightness of the grip on the handles.
•
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
While working with this power tool, hand/arm vibrations occur. Adopt
the correct working practices in order to reduce the exposure
to vibration. This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its
use is not adequately managed.
WARNING!
Identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based
on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account
of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Note:
•
The use of other tools will reduce the users’ total working period on this
tool.
•
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp
chisels, drills and blades.
•
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well
lubricated (where appropriate).
•
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10ºC or less. Plan your work schedule
to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.
