• Watch out for thrown objects.
Stones, rubbish, etc., can be
thrown up into the eyes

residual-current device is fitted
to protect operators in case an
electrical fault should occur.

tingling, pricking, pain, loss of
strength, changes in skin color
or condition. These symptoms
normally appear in the fingers,
hands or wrists.
