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 and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the following:
■ Injury caused by dust
NotE: Using the product will produce considerable
amount of dust and fine particles. Use the dust
collection device or connect a dust extraction vacuum
when operating the product. Wear dust masks
containing filters appropriate to the materials being
worked on. Ensure adequate workplace ventilation. Do
not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Only operate
on materials which are specified in the Intended use
section. Do not operate on materials (e.g., asbestos)
which present a health hazard.
■ Injury caused by noise and vibration
NotE: Wear ear protection during the sanding
operation. Do not operate the product for long periods
of time. See "Risk reduction".
RIsk REductIoN
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome
in certain individuals. 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 unit 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 doctor about
these symptoms.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged use
of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
