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

–

Hold the

product by designated handles and restrict

working time and exposure.

■

Injury caused by exposure to noise

–

Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.

■

Injury caused by flying debris

–

Wear eye protection at all times.

RISK REDUCTION

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

ngers, 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 the 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. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.

■

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 physician.

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.
