and maintained (see instructions under the heading General working instructions).

Vibrations

Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates more vibration than cutting softwoods (most conifers). Cutting with cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty (wrong type or badly sharpened) will increase the vibration level.

!	WARNING! Overexposure to vibration
	can lead to circulatory damage or nerve
	damage in people who have impaired
	circulation. Contact your doctor if you
	experience symptoms of overexposure
	to vibration. Such symptoms include
	numbness, loss of feeling, tingling,
	pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes
	in skin colour or condition. These
	symptoms normally appear in the
	fingers, hands or wrists. These
	symptoms may be increased in cold
	temperatures.
