the opposite position. Remove the battery pack before re-securing in the vise.
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 during
use and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:
●
injury caused by contact with the cutting means
–
The blade cannot be guarded while cutting. Keep the blade away
from yourself and others. Cover it with the blade protector when the
product is not in use.
●
injury caused by vibration
–
Always use the right tool for the job. Use designated handles and
restrict working time and exposure.
●
hearing damage caused by exposure to noise
–
Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.
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. It is reported that cold weather
is a major factor contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
●
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 a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure that you take
regular breaks.
