English
exposure to vibration are mentioned as
factors in the development of whitefinger
disease. In order to reduce the risk of
whitefinger disease and carpal tunnel
syndrome, please note the following:
Most STIHL power tools are
–
available with an anti-vibration
("AV") system designed to reduce
the transmission of vibrations
created by the machine to the
operator's hands. An AV system is
recommended for those persons
using power tools on a regular or
sustained basis.
Wear gloves and keep your hands
–
warm.
Keep the AV system well
–
maintained. A power tool with loose
components or with damaged or
worn AV elements will tend to have
higher vibration levels.
Maintain a firm grip at all times, but
–
do not squeeze the handles with
constant, excessive pressure. Take
frequent breaks.
All the above-mentioned precautions do
not guarantee that you will not sustain
whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel
syndrome. Therefore, continual and
regular users should closely monitor the
condition of their hands and fingers. If
any of the above symptoms appear,
seek medical advice immediately.
WARNING
The ignition system of the STIHL unit
produces an electromagnetic field of a
very low intensity. This field may
interfere with some pacemakers. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury,
persons with a pacemaker should
4
consult their physician and the
pacemaker manufacturer before
operating this tool.
Proper Clothing
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
WARNING
The deflector provided with your power
tool will not protect the operator from all
foreign objects (gravel, glass, wire, etc.)
thrown back by the rotating cutting
attachment. Thrown objects may also
ricochet and strike the operator.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury to your eyes never
operate your power tool
unless wearing goggles
or properly fitted protec-
tive glasses with
adequate top and side
protection complying with
ANSI Z87 "+" (or your
applicable national stand-
ard.) To reduce the risk of
injury to your face STIHL
recommends that you
also wear a face shield or
face screen over your
goggles or protective
glasses.
Power tool noise may
damage your hearing.
Wear sound barriers (ear
plugs or ear mufflers) to
protect your hearing.
Continual and regular
users should have their
hearing checked
regularly.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Always wear heavy duty
work gloves (e.g. made of
leather or other wear
resistant material) when
handling the machine
and the cutting tool.
Heavy-duty, nonslip
gloves improve your grip
and help to protect your
hands.
