Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-
term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or
permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands,
arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-
related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should rst be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to
ensure medical problems are not being caused or
worsened from use. Pregnant women or people
who have impaired blood circulation to the hand,
past hand injuries, nervous system disorders,
diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this
tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms
related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness,
and white or blue ngers), seek medical advice as
soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the
blood supply to the hands and ngers, increasing
the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects
on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a
choice between different processes.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained
in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs,
stop use immediately.
