GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
POTENTIAL PHYSICAL HEALTH PROBLEM
PROTECTION FROM VIBRATION: Vibrations from hand-held tools of this type may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent under
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. If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue
use and see your physician about these symptoms.
This grinder is classified in the “occasional use” category by many current regulations. To reduce the effects of vibration:
a) Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm.
b) Refrain from smoking.
c) After each period of operation, exercise (move arms, etc.) to increase blood circulation.
d) Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
e) Keep the grinder well maintained, fasteners tightened and worn parts replaced.
CAUTION
HAND INJURY HAZARD: Do not allow the grinder or other moving parts to make contact with unprotected skin on the hand
or elsewhere on the body. Failure to wear gloves may result in cuts and bruises to the hand. Gloves must be easily removable and
of a non-slip material.
