3.10.2 Vibration load
WARNING!
Danger due to vibration
The actual magnitude of the vibration
emissions during the use of the appliance
may deviate from that stated by the man-
ufacturer. Observe the following influenc-
ing factors before or during use:
■
Is the appliance being used as in-
tended?
■
Is the material being cut or pro-
cessed 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
vibration grips mounted, and are they
firmly attached to the appliance?
■
Only operate the appliance 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 appliance can
increase due to improper use and mainte-
nance. This leads to damage of the health. In
this case, immediately switch off the appli-
ance and have it repaired by an authorised
service workshop.

■
The degree of stress due to vibration de-
pends on the work to be performed or on the
use that the appliance is put to. Estimate the
stress and plan appropriate work breaks.
This considerably reduces stress due to vi-
bration over the entire working time.
■
Extensive use of the appliance exposes the
operator to vibrations, which can lead to cir-
culatory issues ("white fingers"). To avoid this
risk, wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
If any symptoms of "white fingers" occur, im-
mediately consult a physician. These symp-
toms include: Numbness, loss of feeling, tin-
gling, itching, pain, reduced muscular
strength, changes in the colour or condition
of the skin. Normally these conditions affect
the fingers, hands or pulse. The risk increas-
es at low temperatures.
■
Take long breaks during your working day so
you can recover from the noise and the vibra-
tions. Plan your work in such a way that the
use of appliances that generate strong vibra-
tions is spread over several days.
■
If you notice an unpleasant sensation or disc-
olouration of the skin on your hands when us-
ing the appliance, stop work immediately.
Take sufficient work breaks. Without suffi-
cient breaks, a hand/arm vibration syndrome
can occur.
■
Minimise your risk of being exposed to vibra-
tions. Maintain the appliance according to the
instructions in the operating instructions.
■
If the appliance is used frequently, contact
your dealer to purchase anti-vibration acces-
sories (e.g. handles).
■
Avoid working with the appliance at tempera-
tures below 10 °C. Define how the vibration
load can be limited in a work plan.
3.10.3 Noise pollution
A certain level of noise exposure from this appli-
ance 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 protec-
tion and protection of persons in the vicinity, ap-
propriate hearing protection must be worn.
