Handling Dusts Detrimental to Health
WARNING Some dusts created by sand- ing, sawing and other opera-
tions contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
–Lead from
–Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
–Arsenic and chromium from chemically- treated lumber.
–Asbestos and materials containing asbes- tos.
–Wood dust from beech and oak wood.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Hand/arm vibrations
WARNING While working with this power tool, hand/arm vibra-
tions occur. These can lead to health impair- ments.
WARNING The vibration emission value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
WARNING It is necessary to identify safety measures to protect
the operator that are based on an estima- tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking into 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).
Adopt the correct working practices in order to reduce the exposure to vibration:
–in the case of strong vibration, take the recommended work breaks or change your task more frequently,
–keep your hands warm,
–while working, only grip the power tool as firmly as necessary,
–work only with technically sound machines and application tools,
–select the oscillating frequency according to the FEIN operating data; avoid reso- nance,
–use the FEIN
If these recommendations are not observed, the exposure to strong vibration during daily work over a longer period of time can be detrimental to health.
To prognosticate the vibration exposition, you can use the weighted acceleration value determined in the laboratory (see the Vibrations table). During work, weighted accelerations will be dependent on the par- ticular application, and deviation from this laboratory value can occur.
