Zero 88 SIRIUS 500, Operator'S Manual

Page: 9 / 119

Ergonomic Instructions
Research suggests that carrying out
repetitive tasks, possibly associated
with an unfriendly working
environment, can lead to physical
discomfort and even injury, such as
various forms of Repetitive Strain
Injury.
Please read these instructions carefully.
The Sirius 500 & 250 are designed to
be used in a seated position. The
operator must ensure that all pieces of
equipment in the operator’s position,
including the chair, lighting desk, and
any accessories such as a monitor,
external keyboard and mouse, are
correctly positioned, both individually
and in relation to one another.
Compliance with all local Health and
Safety Regulations must be ensured.
Take sufficient breaks to stop the body
becoming stiff and tense, and to rest
the eyes. Walk around and gently
exercise the muscles particularly in the
hands and shoulders.
N.B. If any pain is felt while using the
equipment, consult a medical
practitioner.
We recommend the following to
improve both comfort and efficiency.
/p1-2/3
Adjust the chair to the correct height,
and ensure that it provides adequate
support to the lower back. The working
surface must also be at the correct
height in relation both to the chair and
to the equipment. Forearms should be
at right angles to upper arms. Feet
should rest flat on the floor. If not, use
a footrest of suitable height for thighs
to be parallel to the floor.
The lighting control desk must be
placed in a comfortable position, as
should the external keyboard and
mouse. Ensure that all are positioned
at the same height. Forearms should
be approximately parallel to the floor.
Consciously relax the hand regularly
when using the wheels and mouse. Do
not grip the mouse too hard. If using a
mouse pad, ensure that the arm still
remains at the correct height.
If using a monitor, ensure that it is
placed at a comfortable viewing
distance, with the top of the display no
higher than eye level when seated.
Glare and bright reflections on the
screen and in the Memory and Wheel
Displays on the front panel of the desk
must be avoided. Frequently focus on
an object in the distance to move the
eyes away from the screen.
Now relax and have fun
using the Sirius Desk!
