of vibrations created by the machine to
the operator’s hands. An anti-vibration
system is recommended for those per-
sons using power tools on a regular or
sustained basis.
• The handle opposite the throttle handle
has been fitted with an EPDM foam grip
further dampening vibrations.
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Ensure that the EPDM foam and the
spring dampening system are in good
working condition.
• Ensure the post driver has no loose com-
ponents. Loose components lead to high
vibration levels.
• Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do
not squeeze the handles with constant,
excessive pressure. Take frequent
breaks.
All of the above mentioned precautions
do not guarantee that you will not sustain
white finger disease or carpal tunnel syn-
drome. Therefore, continual and regular
users should closely monitor the condi-
tion of their hands and fingers. If any of
the above symptoms appear, seek medical
advice immediately.
DO NOT
modify this
power tool in any way.
DO NOT
put anything
other than a post into
the chuck on the driver.
DO NOT
operate your
post driver unless it
is on a post to be driven. Operation of the
driver without it driving on a post could
damage the power tool.
