Using your hand
• Do not rely solely on your TASKA
Hand to support your weight, or as
the primary means to prevent a fall.
• The maximum weight you may carry
with your TASKA Hand or any other
prosthetic hand connected to a
TASKA Wrist is 20kg.
• Do not use your TASKA Hand for
holding anything that could cause
harm if dropped, such as a heavy or
fragile object or container holding a
hazardous substance.
• Your TASKA Hand is intended to
assist you in your activities of daily
living. It is not designed to be used
for activities that involve a lot of
vibration, impact, or force to the
hand. Examples of inappropriate use
include, but are not limited to:
- using high-impact tools such as
hammers, impact wrenches, or
hammer drills
- using heavy-duty machinery such as
chainsaws and reciprocating saws
- deliberately hitting the hand against
hard surfaces
- weightlifting
- high-intensity, adventure, or
contact sports.
• Do not expose the TASKA Hand to
hazards that would injure a natural
hand, for example:
- heavy impact
- severe vibration
- explosions
- corrosive chemicals
- dangerous machinery
- naked flames or anything hot
enough to burn human skin.
• Use your TASKA Hand carefully to
avoid pinching skin, injuring people
or damaging objects.
• Use of a prosthetic arm can cause
body strain, discomfort or irritation
to the residual limb. Talk to your
clinician if your TASKA Hand is
causing pain or discomfort.
• Before operating any vehicle with
your TASKA Hand, make sure you are
legally allowed to operate the vehicle
with a prosthesis. You must obey
local regulations when using vehicles,
aircraft, watercraft, or other forms
of motorised transport while using
your TASKA Hand. Please talk to your
clinician for further information.
• If use of your TASKA Hand is allowed
while operating a vehicle:
- use an open, static grip so that it
does not accidentally close on a
control
- do not use your TASKA Hand to
operate safety-related controls such
as a brake
- make sure the battery has enough
charge to last the length of the
journey.
• Do not use your TASKA Hand in a way
that could cause a safety hazard.
• Do not use your TASKA Hand to
operate firearms.
• Do not expose your TASKA Hand to
live electrical wiring.
• Do not use your TASKA Hand in the
presence of flammable liquids or gas.
• If your TASKA Hand is fitted with a
Seal Ring, clean this and the sealing
surface on your socket's wrist
connection with a soft damp cloth to
remove any dirt before connecting.
• You must return your TASKA Hand
for its annual service in order to
maintain the warranty. You may be
invoiced for costs that are incurred as
a result of the hand not receiving its
annual service.
• If the hand stops responding, try
turning the hand off and on again.
• Contact your clinician if something is
wrong with your hand.
• If you notice lubricants or other fluids
leaking out of the TASKA Hand,
contact your clinician immediately for
repair and cleaning.
• Do not try to repair or modify your
TASKA Hand yourself. Dismantling of
your hand beyond removal of defined
user replaceable components by
anyone not authorised by TASKA
Prosthetics will invalidate the
warranty of your TASKA Hand.
• If your TASKA Hand is broken or
shows visible signs of damage, please
contact your prosthetist for repair
options. Continuing to use your hand
may result in compromising the
waterproof seal. Note that damage to
the fabric thumb boot or faceplates
does not affect the waterproofness
of your hand.
Chemicals
Do not expose your TASKA Hand to
corrosive substances such as solvents,
acids, alkalis, strong detergents,
industrial chemicals, and any
substances that are harmful to
human skin.
