perform a pre-operation inspection of the
driving mechanism before each use and
correct any problem.
Do not lend or rent
your post driver with-
out the instruction manuals. Be sure that
anyone using it understands the informa-
tion contained in these manuals.
Do not use this post
driver for any purpose
other than driving posts into the ground.
Misuse may result in personal injury or
property damage, including damage to the
machine
Minors should never
be allowed to use this
power tool. Bystanders, especially chil-
dren, and animals should not be allowed in
the area where it is in use.
NEVER
let your
power tool run unat-
tended. When it is not in use, shut it off
and make sure that unauthorized persons
do not use it.
Do not operate this
post driver unless
the operator is wearing safety glasses,
safety shoes, hearing protection, gloves
or any other safety equipment advised by,
ANSI, NIOSH, OSHA, or any other safety
regulatory agency, or the employer or the
owner of this post driver.
Bystanders should, at a minimum, wear
safety glasses and hearing protection while
in the presence of this power tool during
operation.
Prolonged use of a
power tool (or other
machines) exposing the operator to vibra-
tions may produce white finger disease
(Raynaud’s phenomenon) or carpal tunnel
syndrome. These conditions reduce the
hand’s ability to feel and regulate tem-
perature, produce numbness and burning
sensations and may cause nerve and circu-
lation damage and tissue necrosis.
Not all factors contributing to white finger
disease are known, but cold weather,
smoking and diseases or physical condi-
tions that affect blood vessels and blood
transport, as well as high vibration levels
and long periods of exposure to vibration
are mentioned as factors in the develop-
ment of white finger disease.
In order to reduce the risk of white finger
disease and carpal tunnel syndrome, please
note the following:
• The Rhino GPD-40 Fence Pro
™
has
been designed with spring dampened
anti-vibration handles to reduce the
transmission of vibrations created by the
machine to the operator’s hands.
An anti-vibration system is recommend-
ed for those persons using power tools
on a regular or sustained basis.
• The handle opposite the throttle handle
has been fitted with an EVA foam grip
further dampening vibrations.
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Ensure that the EVA foam and the
spring dampening system are in good
working condition.
