persons or animals should they not be seen.
19) WARNING - The noise and vibration levels
shown in these instructions are the maximum
levels for use of the machine. Insuicient main-
tenance has a signiicant impact on vibration and
noise emissions. Consequently, it is necessary
to take preventive steps to eliminate possible
damage due to high levels of noise and stress
from vibration. Maintain the machine well, wear
ear protection devices, and take breaks while
working.
20) Prolonged exposure to vibrations can cause
injuries and neurovascular disorders (also called
"Raynaud's syndrome" or "white hand"), espe-
cially to people sufering from circulation dis-
orders. The symptoms can regard the hands,
wrists and ingers and are shown through loss of
sensitivity, torpor, itching, pain and discolouring
of or structural changes to the skin. These ef-
fects can be worsened by low ambient temper-
atures and/or by gripping the handgrips exces-
sively tightly. If the symptoms occur, the length of
time the machine is used must be reduced and a
doctor consulted.
