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 during use and the operator should pay special
attention to avoid the following:
■ injury caused by vibration
– Always use the right tool for the job. Use designated handles
and restrict working time and exposure.
■ injury caused by exposure to noise
– Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear
protection and limit exposure.
■ injury caused by contact with the blades.
■ injury from thrown objects
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 fingers, 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
eects 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 this condition, immediately
discontinue use and see your doctor.
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.
