This appliance vibrates during use.

Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may

cause temporary or permanent physical injury,

particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.

To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating appliances regularly or

for an extended period should first be examined

by a doctor and then have regular medical

check-ups to ensure medical problems are not

being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant

women or people who have impaired blood

circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,

nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s

Disease should not use this appliance. If you

feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as

tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),

seek medical advice as soon as possible.

2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces

the blood supply to the hands and fingers,

increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the

vibration effects on the user.

4. Use appliances with the lowest vibration when

there is a choice between different processes.

5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.

6. Grip appliance as lightly as possible

(while still keeping safe control of it).

Let the appliance do the work.

7. To reduce vibration, maintain the appliance

as explained in this manual. If any abnormal

vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
