the ground, it should not be pulled or ridden on. It should
not be used to cut anything other than domestic grass
lawns.
RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise in use and
the operator should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
■ Injury caused by vibration. Always use the right tool for
the job, use designated handles and restrict working
time and exposure.
■ Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear
protection and limit exposure.
■ Contact with blades
■ Injury from thrown objects
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are
all thought to contribute to the development of the these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■ Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
■ After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
■ Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged
periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
