Vibration safety
WARNING:
Read the warning
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
• During operation of the product, vibrations go from
the product to the operator. Regular and frequent
operation of the product can cause or increase the
degree of injuries to the operator. Injuries can occur
in fingers, hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, and/or
nerves and blood supply or other body parts. The
injuries can be debilitating and/or permanent, and
can increase gradually during weeks, months or
years. Possible injuries include damage to the blood
circulation system, the nervous system, joints, and
other body structures.
• Symptoms can occur during operation of the product
or at other times. If you have symptoms and
continue to operate the product, the symptoms can
increase or become permanent. If these or other
symptoms occur, get medical aid:
• Numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking,
pain, burning, throbbing, stiffness, clumsiness,
loss of strength, changes in skin color or
condition.
• Symptoms can increase in cold temperatures. Use
warm clothing and keep your hands warm and dry
when you operate the product in cold environments.
• Do maintenance on and operate the product as
given in the operator's manual, to keep a correct
vibration level.
• The product has a vibration damping system that
decreases the vibrations from the handles to the
operator. Let the product do the work. Do not push
the product with force. Hold the product at the
handles lightly, but make sure that you control the
product and operate it safely. Do not push the
handles into the end stops more than necessary.
• Keep your hands on the handle or handles only.
Keep all other body parts away from the product.
• Stop the product immediately if strong vibrations
suddenly occurs. Do not continue the operation
before the cause of the increased vibrations is
removed.
• To cut granite or hard concrete causes more
vibration in the product than if you cut soft concrete.
Cutting equipment that is blunt, defective, of
incorrect type or incorrectly sharpened, increases
the vibration level
