RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the machine is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise in use and
the operator should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
– Injury caused by vibration
Always use the right tool for the job, use designated
handles and restrict working time and exposure.
– Hearing injury caused by exposure to noise
Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.
– Eye injury due to flying debris
Wear eye protection at all times.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbnessandblanchingof thengers, usuallyapparent
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. At present, it is unknown how, if any, vibration
emissions or the extent of exposure to vibrations 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
