vibration hazard:

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated 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:

1.

Anyone using vibrating tools regularly 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, nervous system

disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should

not use this tool. If you feel any medical or

physical symptoms related to vibration (such as

tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),

seek medical advice as soon as possible.

2.

Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces

the blood supply to the hands and fingers,

increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

3.

Wear suitable gloves to reduce the

vibration effects on the user.

4.

Use tools with the lowest vibration when there

is a choice between different processes.

5.

Include vibration-free periods each day of work.

6.

Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping

safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.

7.

To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as

explained in this manual. If any abnormal

vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
