COBRA MK1, TT, TT-AWD
WARNING Vibration hazards
Normal and proper use of the machine exposes the
operator to vibration. Regular and frequent exposure
to vibration may cause, contribute to, or aggravate
injury or disorders to the operator's fingers, hands,
wrists, arms, shoulders and/or other body parts,
including debilitating and/or permanent injuries or
disorders that may develop gradually over periods
of weeks, months, or years. Such injury or disorder
may include damage to the blood circulatory system,
damage to the nervous system, damage to joints,
and possibly damage to other body structures.
If numbness, tingling, pain, clumsiness, weakened
grip, whitening of the skin, or other symptoms occur
at any time, when operating the machine or when
not operating the machine, do not resume operating
the machine and seek medical attention. Continued
use of the machine after the occurrence of any such
symptom may increase the risk of symptoms
becoming more severe and/or permanent.
The following may help to reduce exposure to
vibration for the operator:
Let the tool do the job. Use a minimum hand grip
►
consistent with proper control and safe operation.
► When the percussion mechanism is activated, the
only body contact with the machine you should
have are your hands on the handle/handles. Avoid
any other contact, e.g. supporting any part of the
body against the machine or leaning onto the
machine trying to increase the feed force. It is also
important not to keep the start and stop device
engaged while extracting the tool from the broken
work surface.
► Make sure that the inserted tool is well-maintained
(including sharpness, if a cutting tool), not worn
out, and of the proper size. Insertion tools that are
not well-maintained, or that are worn out, or that
are not of the proper size result in longer time to
complete a task (and a longer period of exposure
to vibration) and may result in or contribute to
higher levels of vibration exposure.
Immediately stop working if the machine suddenly
►
starts to vibrate strongly. Before resuming the
work, find and remove the cause of the increased
vibrations.
Never grab, hold or touch the inserted tool when
►
using the machine.
► Participate in health surveillance or monitoring,
medical exams and training programs offered by
your employer and when required by law.
See the "Noise & Vibration Declaration Statement"
for the machine, including the declared vibration
values and "Additional Vibration Information". This
information can be found at the end of these safety
and operation instructions.
