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.
•
Inhalation of saw dust and particles.
•
Skin contact with lubricant/oil.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held
tools may contribute to a condition called
Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain individuals.
Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and
blanching of the fingers, 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. It is reported that cold
weather is a major factor contributing to
Raynaud’s Syndrome.
•
After each period of operation, exercise to
increase blood circulation.
•
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
•
Protective gloves available from professional
retailers are designed specifically for outdoor tool
use which give protection, good grip and also
reduce the effect of handle vibration. These gloves
should comply with EN381-7 and must be CE
marked.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and see your
doctor about these symptoms.
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.
