The product has been designed with safety features and in accordance with regulations but there are still risks which cannot be completely avoided and the operator should be aware of these:

Contact with the cutting blade; gloves should be worn.
Damage to hearing; protection should be worn.
Inhalation of dust and fibres; a face mask should be worn.
Damage to sight; eye protection should be worn.

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling

numbness and blanching of the fi ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold environments.

Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of the these symptoms.There are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.

After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
Take frequent work breaks.
Limit the amount of exposure per day.

If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your doctor.

Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
