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:

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.

Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and

fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.

Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different pro-

cesses.

Include vibration-free periods each day of work.

To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal

vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
