RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise in use and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:
■ injury caused by contact with the cutting means
– The blades cannot be guarded while cutting.
Contact with the blades can cause serious injury.
Keep the blade away from yourself and others.
Cover it with the blade protector whenever you are
not cutting.
■ injury caused by vibration
– Always use the right tool for the job, use designated
handles, and restrict working time and exposure.
■ hearing damage caused by exposure to noise
– Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome.
Symptoms may include tingling, numbness, and blanching
of the fi ngers, 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 product, 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 the condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your physician.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
