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 during 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. 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 fi 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 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. 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.
