8 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON
RISKS DUE TO VIBRATION
a)

the main applications of the tool, but
different uses of the tool or poor main-
tenance can result in different vibration
data.
This may significantly increase the
vibration level over the total working pe-
riod.
b)
Additional safety measure shall be
taken to protect the user from effects
of vibration.
Maintain the tool and its ac-
cessories, keep hands warm and organize
work patterns and periods.
