The operator and/or user must use common sense and caution when operating the product especially
for any matters that are not referred in the above
10. Important: Switch off the tool immediately upon occurrence of any of the following:
- Sparks on the brushes with smoke coming out of the motor housing.
- Deterioration of the switch.
- If smoke or if burnt smell appears.
- If cutting device get blocked.
- The tool shall used as long as the cause of the malfunction has not been discovered and repaired by a
qualified technician.

11. Residual risks
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool's construction and design:
a. Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
Wear filtering mask protection while operating the power tool.
The use of this product may result in the creation of dust containing chemicals that may cause
respiratory or other diseases. These chemicals include compounds found in pesticides, insecticides,
fertilizers and herbicides. The risks associated with exposure to these products vary depending on
the frequency of this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-
ventilated area and with approved personnel protective equipment, such as dust masks specifically
designed to filter microscopic particles.
b. Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
Wear hearing protection while operating the power tool.
The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration total value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
c. Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the power tool is being used over longer period
of time or not adequately managed and properly maintained.
Warning: The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared
total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
There is the need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).
12. Vibrations
Prolonged used of a tool (or other machines) may expose the operator to vibrations tht may product
whitefinger disease (Raynaud's syndrome) or carpal tunnel syndrome.
These conditions reduce the hand's ability to feel and regulate temperature, produce numbness and
may cause nerve and circulation damage and tissue necrosis.
All factors that contribute to the whitefinger disease are not known.
Some of the factors mentioned in the development of the whitefinger disease are: cold weather,
