■ After each use, clean the body and handles of the
product with a soft, dry cloth.
■ After each use, clean the debris from the blades
with a stiff brush, and then carefully apply a rust
preventative lubricant before refitting the blade
protector. The manufacturer recommends you to use a
rust preventative and lubricant spray to apply an even
distribution and reduce the risk of personal injury from
contact with the blades. For information about suitable
spray product, check with your local authorised service
centre.
■ Lubricate the blades lightly before use if necessary
using the above method.
■ Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to ensure the product is in safe
working condition. Any part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service
centre.

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 in use and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:
■ Injury caused by contact with the blades.
– The blade cannot be guarded while cutting. Keep
the blade away from yourself and others. Cover it
with the blade protector when the product is not in
use.
■ Injury caused by vibration.
– Always use the right tool for the job. Use designated
handles and restrict working time and exposure.
■ Hearing damage caused by exposure to noise.
– Wear ear protection and limit exposure.
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,
numbness and blanching of the fi ngers, 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 the 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 product, 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.
