Warning!
Prolonged use 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 sen-
sation of heat, and can cause damage to the nervous
and circulatory systems 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 and severe
or long-lasting exposure to vibrations are known to be fac-
tors that contribute to the development of Raynaud's syn-
drome. Observe the following instructions 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

regular use to monitor the condition of your hands and
fingers closely. Seek medical attention immediately if
any of the above symptoms appear.
