the job, use designated handles and restrict working
time and exposure.

handles. Read and follow the directions elsewhere in
this manual to help reduce the risk of kickback.
- Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged
periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
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 fingers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are
all thought to contribute to the development of 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 about these symptoms.
