THE OPERATOR
All factors which contribute to white-
finger disease are not known, but cold
weather, smoking and diseases or
physical conditions that affect blood
vessels and blood transport, as well as
high vibration levels and long periods of
exposure to vibration are mentioned as
factors in the development of whitefinger
disease. In order to reduce the risk of
whitefinger disease and carpal tunnel
syndrome, please note the following:
Proper Clothing
Physical Condition
!Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
You must be in good physical condition
and mental health and not under the
influence of any substance (drugs,
alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,
dexterity or judgment. Do not operate
this machine when you are fatigued.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury
to your eyes never
operate your power tool
unlesswearinggoggles or
properly fitted protective
glasses with adequate top
and side protection complying with ANSI
Z 87.1 (or your applicable national
standard).
!
Warning!
Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of control.
Working with any power tool can be
strenuous. If you have any condition that
might be aggravated by strenuous work,
check with your doctor before operating
this machine.
–
–
Wear gloves and keep your hands
warm.
Keep the unit well maintained. A
power tool with loose components
will tend to have higher vibration
levels.
!
Warning!
Power tool noise may
damage your hearing. If
you use the hedge
trimmer for extended
periods of time STIHL
recommends that you
wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear
mufflers) to protect your hearing.
Continual and regular users should have
their hearing checked regularly.
–
Maintain a firm grip at all times, but
do not squeeze the handles with
constant, excessive pressure. Take
frequent breaks.
!
Warning!
Prolonged use of a power tool (or other
machines) exposing the operator to
vibrations may produce whitefinger
disease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or
carpal tunnel syndrome.
All the above-mentioned precautions do
not guarantee that you will not sustain
whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel
syndrome. Therefore, continual and
regular users should closely monitor the
condition of their hands and fingers. If
any of the above symptoms appear,
seek medical advice immediately.
These conditions reduce the hand's
ability to feel and regulate temperature,
produce numbness and burning
sensations and may cause nerve and
circulation damage and tissue necrosis.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
!
Warning!
According to STIHL´s current
knowledge, the electric motor of this unit
should not interfere with a pacemaker.
When in doubt, however, consult your
physician and pacemaker manufacturer
before operating this tool.
