VIBRATION EXPOSURE
Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of power

disorders or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold

otherwise healthy people. If symptoms occur such as
numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in skin color or
texture, or loss of feeling in the fi ngers, hands, or joints,
discontinue the use of this power tool and seek medical

the avoidance of these problems. Users who operate
power tools on a continual and regular basis must closely
monitor their physical condition and the condition of the
power tool.
