4.2 Vibration load

• Danger due to vibration The actual magnitude of the vibration emissions during the use of the appliance may deviate from that stated by the manufacturer. Observe the following influencing factors before or during use:
  • Is the appliance being used as intended?
  • Is the material being cut or processed in the proper manner?
  • Is the appliance in a proper condition of use?
  • Is the cutting tool properly sharpened or is the correct cutting tool installed?
  • Are the handle grips and any optional vi- ration grips mounted, and are they firmly attached to the appliance?
• Only operate the tool at the motor speed required for the respective work. Avoid using the maximum speed in order to reduce noise and vibrations.
• The noise and vibrations of the tool may increase due to improper use and maintop. This leads to health damage. In this case, immediately switch off the tool and have it repaired by an authorized service workshop.
• The degree of stress due to vibration de- pends on the work to be performed or on the use of the tool. Estimate the stress and plan appropriate work breaks. This considerably reduces stress due to vibration over the entire working time.
• Extensive use of the tool exposes the operator to vibrations, which can lead to circulatory issues (“white fingers”). To avoid this risk, wear gloves and keep your hands warm. If any symptoms of “white fingers” occur, immediately consult a physician. These symptoms include: Numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, itching, pain, reduced muscular strength, changes in the color or condition of the skin. Normally these conditions affect the fingers, hands or pulse. The risk increases at low temperatures.
• Take long breaks during your working day so you can recover from the noise and the vibrations. Plan your work in such a way that the use of appliances that generate strong vibrations is spread over several days.
• If you notice an unpleasant sensation or discoloration of the skin on your hands when using the tool, stop work immediately. Take sufficient work breaks. Without sufficient breaks, a hand/arm vibration syndrome can occur.
• Minimize your risk of being exposed to vibrations. Maintain the tool according to the instructions in the operating instructions.
• If the tool is used frequently, contact your dealer to purchase anti-vibration accessories (e.g. handles).
• Avoid working with the tool at temperatures below 10 °C. Define how the vibration load can be limited in a work plan.

4.3 Noise pollution
A certain level of noise exposure from this appliance is inevitable. Carry out noisy work at ap- proved and specified time periods. Observe rest periods as necessary and restrict the duration of the work to a minimum. For your personal protection and protection  of persons in the vicinity, appropriate hearing protection must be worn.
