Vibration Precautions
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 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.
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 tool as
explained in this manual. If abnormal
vibration occurs, stop immediately.
8.
The warnings and precautions
discussed in this manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must
be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the
