Do not allow others to use this device unless they have been fully instructed, have read and
understood the user manual, and have been trained in the operation of the device.
Prolonged use of the device exposes the user to shocks that can lead to white
finger disease (Raynaud's syndrome) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This
condition reduces the hand's ability to feel and regulate temperature, causes
numbness and heat sensations, and can lead to nerve and circulatory damage and tissue
death.
Not all factors leading to white finger disease are known. Still, cold weather, smoking, and
other conditions affecting the blood vessels and blood circulation, as well as extensive or
prolonged exposure to shocks, are mentioned as factors in the development of white finger
disease. Observe the following to reduce the risk of white finger disease and carpal tunnel
syndrome
● Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
● Take regular breaks.
All the precautions mentioned above cannot exclude the risk of white finger disease or
carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are, therefore, recommended to
closely monitor the condition of their hands and fingers. Consult a doctor immediately if
any of the above symptoms occur.
The operating noise of the tool can damage your hearing. Wear
sound-proofing (Oropax or earmuffs) to protect it. Long-term and
regular users are advised to check their hearing regularly. Be
especially vigilant and careful when wearing hearing protection, as it limits your
ability to hear warnings (cries, alarms, etc.).
WARNING: A certain amount of noise pollution from this device cannot be avoided.
Do not carry out noisy work during permitted and designated times. If necessary, observe
rest periods and limit the duration of work to the bare essentials. Appropriate hearing
protection must be worn for their personal protection and the protection of persons in the
vicinity.
