Installation and start-up
Take sufficient work breaks. Without suffi-
cient breaks, a hand/arm vibration syndrome
can occur.
■
The load factor (which depends on the work
performed or the use of the device) should be
assessed and appropriate breaks taken. This
significantly decreases the load factor
throughout the whole working period.
■
Minimise your risk of being exposed to vibra-
tions. Maintain the appliance according to the
instructions in the operating instructions.
■
If the device is used frequently, contact your
dealer and obtain anti vibration accessories if
necessary (e.g. grips).
■
Avoid working with the device at temperat-
ures below 10 °C. Define how the vibration
load can be limited in a work plan.
3.7.3 Noise pollution
A certain level of noise exposure from this device
is inevitable. Carry out noisy work at approved
and specified time periods. Observe rest periods
as necessary and restrict the duration of the work
to a minimum. For your personal protection and
protection of persons in the vicinity, appropriate
hearing protection must be worn.
