VIBRATION HAZARD
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:
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be 1.
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 fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.

fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.3.
Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different pro-4.
cesses.
Include vibration-free periods each day of work.5.
