circulation. Speak to your physician if you
experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration.

tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in
skin colour or condition. These symptoms usually
show in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk
increases at low temperatures.
Personal protective equipment
WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
• Always use approved personal protective equipment
when you use the product. Personal protective
equipment cannot fully prevent injury but it
decreases the degree of injury if an accident does
occur. Let your dealer help you select the correct
equipment.

height of more than 2 m/6.5 ft.
• Use approved hearing protection.

with ANSI Z87.1 standard in the USA or EN 166 in
EU countries.Use visor for face protection. Visor is
not enough to protect the eyes.
• Use gloves when it is necessary, for example when
you attach, examine or clean the cutting equipment.
• Use protective boots with steel toe-cap and non-slip
soles.
• Use clothing made of a strong fabric. Always use
heavy, long pants and long sleeves. Do not use
loose clothing that can catch on twigs and branches.
