exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic
particles. (California Health & Safety
Code § 25249.5,

Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use. Re-
peated or long-term exposure to
vibration may cause temporary or
permanent physical injury, particularly
to the hands, arms and shoulders. To
reduce the risk of vibration-related
injury:
Anyone using vibrating tools regu-
1.
larly or for an extended period should
first be examined by a doctor and
then have regular medical check-
ups to ensure medical problems are
not being caused or worsened from
use. Pregnant women or people
who have impaired blood circulation
to the hand, past hand injuries, ner-
vous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should not use
this tool. If you feel any symptoms
related to vibration (such as tingling,
numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as pos-
sible.
Do not smoke during use. Nico-
2.
tine reduces the blood supply to the
hands and fingers, increasing the risk
of vibration-related injury.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
3.
vibration effects on the user.
Use tools with the lowest vibration
4.
when there is a choice between dif-
ferent processes.
Include vibration-free periods each
5.
day of work.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while
6.
still keeping safe control of it). Let
the tool do the work.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool
7.
as explained in this manual. If any
abnormal vibration occurs, stop use
immediately.
