VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS

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.
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 by or worsened from tool use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hands, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes or Raynaud's
Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical symptoms related to vibrations
(such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical attention as
soon as possible.
2.
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood flow to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user. Gloves must not
be loose fitting.
4.
Use tools with the lowest amount of vibration when there is a choice between
different processes.
5.
Do not use for extended periods. Take frequent breaks when using this tool.
6.
Let the tool do the work. Grip the tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe
control of it).
7.
To reduce vibrations, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If abnormal vibrations
occur, stop using this tool immediately.
