Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to
heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker
interference or pacemaker failure. In
addition, people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with power switch locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) should also be implemented – it
prevents sustained electrical shock.

Vibration Safety
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 medical or physical 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 between different
processes.
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 the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
