Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, grease,
etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fluids, petrol, petroleum
based products, penetrating lubricant, etc., come in
contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage,
weaken, or destroy plastic, which may result in serious
personal injury.
All pruner service, other than the items listed in the
instruction manual maintenance instructions, should be
carried out by an authorised service centre.
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
– Hold the product by designated handles and restrict
working time and exposure.
■ injury caused by exposure to noise
– Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.
■ injury caused by flying debris.
– Wear eye protection at all times.
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 ngers, 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
effects 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 physician.
