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 and the operator 
should pay special attention to avoid the following:

 

Ŷ

Injury caused by vibration

 

Use the lowest speed setting which achieves the 

cutting, limit exposure. See Risk Reduction.

 

Ŷ

Injury caused by dust

 

Dust may enter the eyes or respiratory system. 
Wear eye protection at all times. Wear appropriate 
dust control mask with filters suitable for protecting 
against particles from the material being cut. Do 
not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Ensure 
adequate ventilation.

 

Ŷ

Injury caused by electric shock 

 

The blade may contact hidden wiring, causing 
parts of the product to become live. Always hold 
the product by the designated handles and take 
care when blind-cutting into walls and floors where 
cables may be hidden.

 

Ŷ

Injury caused by contact with the blade

 

The blades are very sharp and will become hot 
during use. Wear gloves when changing blades. 
Keep hands away from the cutting area at all times. 
Clamp the workpiece whenever possible.

 

Ŷ

Injury caused by noise

 

Noise can damage hearing. When using power 
tools for an extended period of time, wear hearing 
protection.

 

Ŷ

Damage to sight; eye protection should be worn.

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools 
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome 
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, 

QXPEQHVV DQG EODQFKLQJ RI WKH ¿QJHUV XVXDOO\ DSSDUHQW

upon exposure to cold environments.

Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, 
smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to 
the development of the 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 
unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is 
reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to 
Raynaud’s Syndrome.

 

Ŷ

After each period of operation, exercise to increase 
blood circulation.

 

Ŷ

Take frequent work breaks. 

 

Ŷ

Limit the amount of exposure per day.

If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, 
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor.

Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of 
a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure 
you take regular breaks.
