without supervision.
Children should be supervised so that they do not play
with the device.
However, some residual risks remain despite the spe-
cific safety measures, safety instructions, and additional
safety regulations indicated in the operating manual,
e.g. commissioning the product unintentionally. If you do
not observe the instructions contained in the instruction
manual, other residual risks may result due to improper
use.
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 sen-
sation 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 syn-
drome. 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.
