RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible
to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special
attention to avoid the following:
■
Injury caused by vibration.
–
Always use the right tool for the job, use designated handles
and use the lowest speed necessary to achieve the task.

Hearing injury caused by exposure to noise.
–
Wear ear protection and limit exposure.
■
Injury from flying objects from the blow tube airflow.

RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may
contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome. Symptoms
may include tingling, numbness, and blanching of the fingers,
usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors,
exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these symptoms.
There are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly
reduce the effects of vibration:
■
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the
product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm.
■
After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood
circulation.
■
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per
day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately
discontinue use and see your physician.
WARNING! Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of the product. When using any tool for prolonged
periods, ensure you take regular breaks
