General Safety Instructions; Intended Use - PrimAster PMES 1000 Mode D'emploi

WARNING! The vibration value may vary according to the usage of the machine and its fitted equipment, and be
higher than the one indicated. Safety measures must be established to protect the user and must be based on the load
estimate generated by the vibrations in real usage conditions. In this regard, all the operational cycle phases must be
taken into consideration, such as switching off or idle running.
Warning: Prolonged exposure to vibrations can cause injuries and neurovascular disorders (also called "Renaud's
syndrome"or "white hand"), especially to people suffering from circulation disorders. The symptoms can regard the
hands, wrists and fingers and are shown through loss of sensitivity, torpor, itching, pain and discolouring of or structural
changes to the skin. These effects can be worsened by low ambient temperatures and/or by gripping the handgrips
excessively tightly. If the symptoms occur, the length of time the machine is used must be reduced and a doctor con-
sulted.
Warning! This machine generates an electromagnetic field when operated. This field can affect active or passive me-
dical implants in certain circumstances. In order to reduce the risk of severe injury or death, we recommend that peo-
