An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into
account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not
actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over
the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects
of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands
warm, organisation of work patterns.
Dust protection
Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species,
minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust
may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech
dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos must only be
treated by specialists.
Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used.
To achieve a high level of dust collection, use industrial vacuum cleaner
for wood and/or minerals together with this tool.
The work place must be well ventilated.
The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.
