Risk reduction
CAUTION
● Using the device for longer pe-
riods can cause poor circula-
tion in the hands due to
30
vibrations. A general period of
use cannot be set, because
this depends on several influ-
encing factors:
 Personal tendency to suffer
from poor circulation (fre-
quently cold fingers, tingling
sensation in the fingers)
 Low ambient temperature.
Wear warm gloves to protect
your hands.
 Holding the device too tightly
hindering blood circulation.
 Continuous operation is more
harmful than operation inter-
rupted by work breaks.
You should see a doctor if us-
ing the device regularly and for
lengthy periods of time, and in
the event of repeated occur-
rences of symptoms such as
tingling in the fingers or cold
fingers.
