RESIDUAL RISKS

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.
Hearing injury caused by exposure to noise. Wear
hearing protection and limit exposure
Injury caused by contact with the blades
Injury caused by thrown objects

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome.
Symptoms may include tingling, numbness, and blanching
of the ngers, 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 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 product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm.
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.
Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged use
of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
To avoid serious personal injury, do not attempt
to use the product until you read thoroughly and
understand completely the operator's manual. If you
do not understand the warnings and instructions in the
operator's manual, do not use the product. Call the
authorised service centre for assistance.
