WARNING!
–
Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Grass Shear Measured vibration emission value (a).......................... 3.65m/s²
Grass Shear Uncertainty value (k):.....................................................1.5m/s²
Hedge Trimmer Measured vibration emission value (a)...........................3.71m/s²
Hedge Trimmer Uncertainty value (k):......................................................1.5m/s²
Raker Measured vibration emission value (a)............................3.82m/s²
Raker Uncertainty value (k):......................................................1.5m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We
recommend that a specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for
each tool.
N B: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand
Arm Vibration Syndrome.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures
can be modified accordingly.
Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the
uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm
and dry and maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to
the Correct Use and Maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be
found on the HSC website www.hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
