SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR BENCH BUFFER
• The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed
in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur.
• It must be understood by the operator that common
sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into
this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Vibration Safety
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. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
• 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 or worsened from use.
Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous
system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's Disease
should not use this tool. If you feel any medical or
physical symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling,
numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical
advice as soon as possible
• Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood
supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
• Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a
choice between different processes.
• Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
• Let the tool do the work.
• To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in
this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use
immediately.
