Warning!
Prolonged use of a power tool (or other machines) ex-
posing the operator to vibrations may produce whitefin-
ger disease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or carpal tunnel
syndrome.
These conditions reduce the hand's ability to feel and
regulate temperature, produce numbness and burning
sensations and may cause nerve and circulation damage
and tissue necrosis.
All factors which contribute to white-finger disease are
not known, but cold weather, smoking and diseases or
physical conditions that affect blood vessels and blood
transport, as well as high vibration levels and long pe-
riods of exposure to vibration are mentioned as factors
in the development of whitefinger disease. In order to
reduce the risk of whitefinger disease and carpal tunnel
synfrome, please note the following:
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Keep the AV system well maintained. A power tool with
loose components or with damaged or worn AV buffers
will tend to have higher vibration levels.
• Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do not squeeze
the handles with constant, excessive pressure. Take
frequent breaks.
All The above-mentioned precautions do not guarantee
That you will not sustain whitefinger disease or carpal
tunnel syndrome. Therefor, continual and regular users
should closely monitor the continual of their hands and
fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear, seek medi-
cal advice immediately.
Warning!
The ignition system produces an electromagnetic field of
a very low intensity. This field may interfere with some
