(1.7)
VIBRATION
WARNING: When using this machine the
operator can be exposed to high levels
of vibration transmitted to the hand and
arm. It is possible that the operator could
develop “Vibration white nger disease”
(Raynaud syndrome). This condition
can reduce the sensitivity of the hand
to temperature as well as producing
general numbness. Prolonged or regular
users of this machine should monitor
the condition of their hands and ngers
closely. If any of the symptoms become
evident, seek immediate medical advice.
• The measurement and assessment of
human exposure to hand-transmitted
vibration in the workplace is given in:
EN 62841-1+AC:2015 and EN 62841-2-10:2017
in EU market and BS EN 62841-1+AC:2015
and BS EN 62841-2-10:2017 in UK market
• Many factors can inuence the actual
vibration level during operation e.g. the
work surfaces condition and orientation
and the type and condition of the machine
being used. Before each use, such factors
should be assessed, and where possible
appropriate working practices adopted.
Managing these factors can help reduce
the eects of vibration:
Handling
• Handle the machine with care,
allowing the machine to do the work.
• Avoid using excessive physical eort on
any of the machines controls.
• Consider your security and stability, and
the orientation of the machine during use.
Work Surface
• Consider the work surface material;
its condition, density, strength,
rigidity and orientation.
WARNING: The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can dier from
the declared total value depending on the
ways in which the tool is used. The need
to identify safety measures and to protect
the operator are based on an estimation
of exposure in the actual conditions of use
(taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle, such as the times the tool is switched
o, when it is running idle, in addition to
trigger time).

If you suspect that paint on the surface
of material you wish to cut contains lead,
seek professional advice. Lead based paints
should only be removed by a professional
and you should not attempt to remove it
yourself. Once the dust has been deposited
on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage. The young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. As
some materials can produce dust that may
be hazardous to your health, we recommend
the use of an approved face mask with
replaceable lters when using this machine.
