If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in your fingers or hands, stop using this
tool, tell your employer and consult a physician.
z
Operate and maintain this tool as recommended in the instruction handbook to prevent an unnecessary
increase in vibration levels.

Do not allow the inserted tool to chatter on the workpiece as this is likely to cause a substantial increase in
vibration.
z
An improperly mounted or damaged inserted tool can cause excessive vibration levels.
z
Select, maintain and replace the consumable or inserted tool as recommended in the instructions handbook to
prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels.
z
Support the mass of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer, if possible.
z
Hold the tool with a light but safe grip, taking account of the required hand reaction forces, because the risk
from vibration is generally greater when the grip force is higher.
