Warning!
Prolonged use of a tool will subject the user to vibration
and shocks that could lead to Raynaud's syndrome or
Carpal tunnel syndrome.
This condition reduces the ability of the hand to sense
and regulate temperature, causes numbness and a
sensation of heat, and can cause damage to the nervous
and circulatory systems and to necrosis.
Not all factors that lead to Raynaud's syndrome are
known, but cold water, smoking, and illnesses that
impact the blood vessels and the circulatory system
and severe or long-lasting exposure to vibrations are
known to be factors that contribute to the development of
Raynaud's syndrome. Observe the following instructions
to reduce the risk of Raynaud's syndrome and Carpal
tunnel syndrome:
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Make sure the device is well maintained. A tool with
loose components or with damaged or worn dampers
is prone to increased vibration.
• Always hold the handle firmly, but do not grip it con-
tinuously with excessive pressure. Take breaks often.
All of the precautions indicated above cannot exclude the
risk of Raynaud's syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome.
Therefore, it is advisable in case of long-term or regular
use to monitor the condition of your hands and fingers
closely. Seek medical attention immediately if any of the
above symptoms appear.
