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.
■ Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear
protection and limit exposure.
■ Contact with blades
■ Injury from thrown objects
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held 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 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.
■ 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.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury, do not attempt
to use this product until you read thoroughly and
understand completely the operator’s manual. If you
do not understand the warnings and instructions in
the operator’s manual, do not use this product. Call
authorised service centre for assistance.
