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 in use and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:
Ŷ Injury caused by vibration. Always use the right tool for
the job, use designated handles and restrict working
time and exposure.
Ŷ Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear
protection and limit exposure.
Ŷ Injury from flying objects from the blow tube airflow or
vacuum exhaust if the bag is not fitted or damaged.
Wear adequate eye protection at all times.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
QXPEQHVVDQGEODQFKLQJRIWKH¿QJHUVXVXDOO\DSSDUHQW
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:
Ŷ 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.
Ŷ After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
Ŷ 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 about
these symptoms.
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.
