Warning!
The prolonged utilisation of a tool will subject the user to vibration and shocks that could lead to Raynaud's syndrome
or Carpal tunnel syndrome.
This condition reduces the ability of the hand to sense and regulate temperature, causes numbness and a sensation
of heat and can lead to damage to the nervous system and the circulatory system and to necrosis.
Not all factors that lead to Raynaud's syndrome are known but cold water, smoking and illnesses that impact the blood
vessels and the circulatory system as well as severe or long-lasting exposure to vibrations are known to be factors in
the development of Raynaud's syndrome.
Observe the following in order to reduce the risk of Raynaud's syndrome and Carpal tunnel syndrome:
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Make sure the device is well maintained. A tool with loose components or with damaged or worn-out dampers will have
a disposition towards increased vibrations.
• Always hold the handle firmly but do not clutch it constantly with excessive force. Take breaks often.
All of the above precautions cannot exclude the risk of Raynaud's syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore,
with long-term or regular use it is advisable to keep a close watch on the condition of your hands and fingers. Seek
medical attention immediately in the event of any of the above symptoms appearing.

2. General safety information for power tools

Warning! Read all safety-related information and safety instructions! Failure to ob-
serve the safety information and instructions may result in electric shock, burns and/
or severe injury.
Keep the safety information and instructions for future reference.
The term 'power tool' as used in the safety information and instructions includes both
mains-operated tools (with power cord) and battery-operated tools (without power cord).

1) Safety at the workplace

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia-
tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
