Residual risks

Certain residual risks remain even when the device is operated as intended. The following dangers can be present when using the device:

WARNING

• Vibration can cause injuries. Use the correct tools for the job, use the handles provided, and use the lowest required speed in order to complete the job.
• Noise can cause hearing injuries. Wear hearing protection and limit the duration of exposure.
• Injuries from hurled objects that may escape from the blower pipe due to air pressure.
• Always wear eye protection.

Risk reduction

CAUTION

• Using the device for longer periods can cause poor circulation in the hands due to vibrations. A general period of use cannot be set, because this depends on several influencing factors:
• Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation (frequently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fingers)
• Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to protect your hands.
• Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circulation.
• Continuous operation is more harmful than an operation interrupted by work breaks.

You should see a doctor if using the device regularly and for lengthy periods of time, and in the event of repeated occurrences of symptoms such as tingling in the fingers or cold fingers.
