CAUTION The cutter head will continue to rotate for a few seconds after switching off. ■ The vibration level during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. ■ It has been reported that vibrations from the 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. It is presently unknown what, if any, vibrations or extent of exposure may contribute to the condition. 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 physician about these symptoms. Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this product. If you lend someone this unit, lend them these instructions also.
