Repetitive motion hazards

• When using a power tool to perform work-related activi-

ties, the operator might experience discomfort in the

hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the body.

• Adopt a comfortable posture whilst maintaining secure

footing and avoiding awkward or off-balance postures.

Changing posture during extended tasks can help avoid

discomfort and fatigue.

• Do not ignore symptoms such as persistent or recurring

discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness,

burning sensation, or stiffness. Stop using the tool, tell

your employer and consult a physician.

Noise and Vibration hazards

• High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss and

other problems such as tinnitus. Use hearing protection

as recommended by your employer or occupational

health and safety regulations.

• Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the

nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms. Wear

warm clothing and keep your hands warm and dry. If

numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin occurs,

stop using tool, tell your employer and consult a physi-

cian.

• Hold the tool in a light but safe grip because the risk

from vibration is generally greater when the grip force is

higher. Where possible support the weight of the tool

with a balancer.

• To prevent unnecessary increases in noise and vibration

levels:

• Operate and maintain the tool, and select, maintain and

replace the accessories and consumables, in accordance

with this instruction manual;

• Use damping materials to prevent workpieces from

"ringing."

Workplace hazards

• Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death.

Be aware of excess hose left on the walking or work sur-

face.

• Avoid inhaling dust or fumes or handling debris from the

work process which can cause ill health (for example,

cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis). Use dust

extraction and wear respiratory protective equipment

when working with materials which produce airborne

particles.

• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling and other construction activities contains chemi-

cals known to the State of California to cause cancer and

birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples

of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead based paints

• Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other ma-

sonry products

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rub-

ber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on

how often you do this type of work. To reduce your ex-

posure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,

and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust

masks that are specially designed to filter out micro-

scopic particles.

• Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Hidden

hazards may exist, such as electricity or other utility

lines.

• Potentially explosive atmospheres can be caused by dust

and fumes resulting from sanding or grinding. Always

use dust extraction or suppression systems which are

suitable for the material being processed.

• This tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive

atmospheres and is not insulated from coming into con-

tact with electric power.
