Safety instructions
■
The noise and vibrations of
the appliance can increase
due to improper use and
maintenance. This leads to
damage of the health. In this
case, immediately switch off
the appliance and have it re-
paired by an authorised ser-
vice workshop.
■
The degree of stress due to
vibration depends on the work
to be performed or on the use
that the appliance is put to.
Estimate the stress and plan
appropriate work breaks. This
considerably reduces stress
due to vibration over the en-
tire working time.
■
Extensive use of the appli-
ance exposes the operator to
vibrations, which can lead to
circulatory issues ("white fin-
gers"). To avoid this risk, wear
gloves and keep your hands
warm. If any symptoms of
"white fingers" occur, immedi-
ately consult a physician.
These symptoms include:
Numbness, loss of feeling,
tingling, itching, pain, reduced
muscular strength, changes in
the colour or condition of the
skin. Normally these condi-
tions affect the fingers, hands
or pulse. The risk increases at
low temperatures.
■
Take long breaks during your
working day so you can re-
cover from the noise and the
vibrations. Plan your work in
such a way that the use of ap-
pliances that generate strong
vibrations is spread over sev-
eral days.
■
If you notice an unpleasant
sensation or discolouration of
the skin on your hands when
using the appliance, stop work
immediately. Take sufficient
work breaks. Without suffi-
cient breaks, a hand/arm vi-
bration syndrome can occur.
■
Minimise your risk of being
exposed to vibrations. Main-
tain the appliance according
to the instructions in the oper-
ating instructions.
■
If the appliance is used fre-
quently, contact your dealer to
purchase anti-vibration ac-
cessories (e.g. handles).
■
Avoid working with the appli-
ance at temperatures below
10 °C. Define how the vibra-
tion load can be limited in a
work plan.
3.9.2 Noise pollution
A certain level of noise exposure
from this appliance is inevitable.
Carry out noisy work at ap-
proved and specified time peri-
