■
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at
frequent intervals for proper tightness to

tightened. See the manufacturer’s
recommendations for blade bolt torque
which can be found in the product
specification table in this manual.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed,
it is still impossible to completely eliminate
certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in use and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
■
injury caused by vibration
●
Always use the right tool for the job. Use
designated handles and restrict working
time and exposure.
■
injury caused by noise
●
Exposure to noise can cause hearing
injury. Wear ear protection and limit
exposure.
■
injury from contact with the blades
■
injury caused by thrown objects
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from
handheld tools may contribute to a condition
called Raynaud’s Syndrome. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness, and blanching of
the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure
to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold
and dampness, diet, smoking, and work
practices are all thought to contribute to the
development of these symptoms. There are
measures that can be taken by the operator
to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■
Keep your body warm in cold weather.
When operating the product, wear gloves
to keep the hands and wrists warm.
■
After each period of operation, exercise to
increase blood circulation.
■
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the
amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and
see your doctor.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any
tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take
regular breaks.
