3.2 Vibration load

■
Danger due to vibration
The actual magnitude of the
vibration emissions during the
use of the appliance may de-
viate from that stated by the
manufacturer. Observe the
following influencing factors
before or during use:
■
Is the appliance being used
as intended?
■
Is the material being cut or
processed in the proper
manner?
■
Is the appliance in a proper
condition of use?
■
Is the cutting tool properly
sharpened or is the correct
cutting tool installed?
■
Are the handle grips and
any optional vibration grips
mounted, and are they
firmly attached to the appli-
ance?
■
Only operate the tool at the
motor speed required for the
respective work. Avoid using
the maximum speed in order

to reduce noise and vibra-
tions.
■
The noise and vibrations of
the tool may increase due to
improper use and mainte-
nance. This leads to health
damage. In this case, immedi-
ately switch off the tool and
have it repaired by an autho-
rised service workshop.
■
The degree of stress due to
vibration depends on the work
to be performed or on the use
of the tool. Estimate the stress
and plan appropriate work
breaks. This considerably re-
duces stress due to vibration
over the entire working time.
■
Extensive use of the tool ex-
poses the operator to vibra-
tions, which can lead to circu-
latory issues ("white fingers").
To avoid this risk, wear gloves
and keep your hands warm. If
any symptoms of "white fin-
gers" occur, immediately con-
sult a physician. These symp-
toms include: Numbness, loss
of feeling, tingling, itching,
pain, reduced muscular
strength, changes in the co-
lour or condition of the skin.
Normally these conditions af-
fect the fingers, hands or
pulse. The risk increases at
low temperatures.
