Vibration

1. 

People with poor circulation who are exposed 

to excessive vibration may experience injury 

to blood vessels or the nervous system.

Vibration may cause the following symptoms 

to occur in the fingers, hands or wrists: "Falling 

asleep" (numbness), tingling, pain, stabbing sen-

sation, alteration of skin color or of the skin. If any 

of these symptoms occur, see a physician!

2. 

To reduce the risk of "white finger disease", 

keep your hands warm during operation and 

well maintain the tool and accessories.

zontal position by holding the shaft.
