■
Only operate the appliance at
the motor speed required for
the respective work. Avoid
using the maximum speed in
order to reduce noise and
vibrations.
■
The noise and vibrations of the
appliance can increase due to
improper use and
60
maintenance. This leads to
damage of the health. In this
case, immediately switch off
the appliance and have it
repaired by an authorised
service workshop.
■
The degree of stress due to
vibration depends on the work
to be performed or on the use
that the appliance is put to.
Estimate the stress and plan
appropriate work breaks. This
considerably reduces stress
due to vibration over the entire
working time.
■
Extensive use of the appliance
exposes the operator to
vibrations, which can lead to
circulatory issues ("white
fingers"). To avoid this risk,
wear gloves and keep your
hands warm. If any symptoms
of "white fingers" occur,
immediately consult a
physician. These symptoms
include: Numbness, loss of
feeling, tingling, itching, pain,
reduced muscular strength,
changes in the colour or
condition of the skin. Normally
these conditions affect the
fingers, hands or pulse. The
risk increases at low
temperatures.
