RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise in use and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:
■
Contact with cutting means
–
Ensure that the blade protectors are fitted when the
product is not in use. Keep hands and feet away
from the blades at all times.
■
Injury caused by vibration
–
Always use the right tool for the job, use designated
handles, and restrict working time and exposure.
■
Hearing injury caused by exposure to noise
–
Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.
■
Eye injury caused by flying debris
–
Wear eye protection at all times.
■
Risk of falling objects
–
Wear head protection if there is any risk of falling
objects.
Kickback can occur when using the brushcutter. Ensure
proper control by using both hands on the designated
handles. Read and follow the directions elsewhere in this
manual to help reduce the risk of kickback.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome.
Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching
of the fi ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.

Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet,
smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to
the development of these symptoms. There are measures
that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the
effects of vibration:
■
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Reynaud's Syndrome.
■
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
■
Ensure that the product is correctly located in a
designated working position before operating the
product.
■
Limit the amount of exposure per day. Take frequent
work breaks.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your physician.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
