PHYSICAL CONDITION
Your judgment and/or dexterity may be impaired if
you are ill or have taken alcohol or other
substances known to affect the way you would
function normally. Operate only when sound in
mind and body.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST VIBRATION AND
COLD
It is believed that a condition called
Raynaud's Phenomenon which affects the
fingers of certain individuals is brought
about by exposure to cold and vibration.
Accordingly, your ECHO Cut-off Saw has
shock mounts designed to reduce the
intensity of vibration received through the
saw handles. Exposure to cold and vibration
may cause tingling and burning, followed by
loss of color and numbness, in a person's
fingers. We strongly recommend your taking
the following precautions because the
minimum exposure which might trigger the
ailment is unknown.
Keep your body warm – especially head,
neck, feet and ankles, and hands and
wrists.
Maintain good blood circulation by
performing vigorous arm exercises during
frequent work breaks, and also by not
smoking.
Limit the number of hours of cut-off saw
operation. Try to fill a part of each work
day with jobs where operating this saw or
other hand-held power tools are not
required.
If you experience discomfort, redness and
swelling of the fingers, followed by
whitening and loss of feeling, consult your
physician before exposing yourself further
to cold and vibration.
