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 during use and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid
the following:
■ injury caused by vibration
Always use the right tool for the job, hold
–
the product by the designated handles
and use the lowest speed necessary to
achieve the task.
■ injury caused by exposure to noise
– Wear ear protection and limit exposure.
■ injury caused by flying objects from the
blower tube airflow
– Wear eye protection at all times.

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 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 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. 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 physician.
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.
