General Safety

  11

• There is an explosion risk if the battery

terminals are short circuited, when 
connecting/disconnecting ALWAYS exercise 
great care so that the terminals or battery 
leads are NOT allowed to touch and cause a 
spark. ALWAYS use suitable insulated tools.

• Prolonged use of hand held (operated)
machines will cause the user to feel the effects
of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead
to white finger (Raynaud’s phenomenon) or
carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition
reduces the ability of the hand to feel and
regulate temperature, causing numbness and
heat sensations and may cause nerve damage
and circulatory tissue death.

• Not all factors that lead to white finger
disease are known, but cold weather, smoking
and other diseases that affect blood vessels
and blood circulation as well as large and
long-lasting impact of shocks are considered
factors in the formation of white finger. Note
the following to reduce the risk of white finger
and carpal tunnel syndrome;

• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.

• Take regular breaks.

• All of the above precautions may help
reduce the risk of white finger disease but not
rule out the carpal tunnel syndrome.
Long-term and regular users are therefore
recommended to observe the condition of
your hands and fingers. Seek medical
attention immediately if any of the above
symptoms should occur.

    Vibrations (Where 
Applicable)

• The operating noise of the machine can
damage your hearing. Wear hearing protection
such as earplugs or ear defenders to protect
your hearing. Long-term and regular users are
advised to have hearing checked regularly. Be
especially vigilant and cautious when using
ear protection because your ability to hear
alarm warnings will be reduced.

• Noise emissions for this equipment is
unavoidable. Carry out noisy work at
approved times and for certain periods.
Limit the working time to a minimum. For your
personal protection and protection of people
working nearby it is also advisable for them to
wear hearing protection.

• See Certificate of Conformity section
