■
Take long breaks during your working day so
you can recover from the noise and the vibra-
tions. Plan your work in such a way that the
use of appliances that generate strong vibra-
tions is spread over several days.
■
If you notice an unpleasant sensation or disc-
olouration of the skin on your hands when us-
ing the tool, stop work immediately. Take suf-
ficient work breaks. Without sufficient breaks,
a hand/arm vibration syndrome can occur.
■
Minimise your risk of being exposed to vibra-
tions. Maintain the tool according to the in-
structions in the operating instructions.
■
If the tool is used frequently, contact your
dealer to purchase anti-vibration accessories
(e.g. handles).
■
Avoid working with the tool at temperatures
below 10 °C. Define how the vibration load
can be limited in a work plan.
