WARNING
In case of extended working periods, the operating per-
sonnel may suffer circulatory disturbances in their
hands (vibration white finger) due to vibrations.
Raynaud's syndrome is a vascular disease that causes
the small blood vessels on the fingers and toes to
cramp in spasms. The affected areas are no longer
supplied with sufficient blood and therefore appear ex-
tremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating products can
cause nerve damage in people whose circulation is im-
paired (e.g. smokers, diabetics).
If you notice unusual adverse effects, stop working im-
mediately and seek medical advice.
Observe the following information to reduce hazards:
• Keep your body and especially your hands warm in
cold weather.
• Take regular breaks and move your hands to promote
circulation.
• Ensure as little vibration as possible of the product via
regular maintenance and stable parts on the product.
