Safety instructions

￿Warning

Long hours of using the appliance can cause circulation problems in the hands on account of vibrations.

It is not possible to specify a generally valid operation time, since this depends on sev- eral factors:

–Proneness to blood circulation deficien- cies (cold, numb fingers).

–Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to protect hands.

–A firm grip impedes blood circulation.

–Continuous operation is worse than an operation interrupted by pauses.

In case of regular, long-term operation of the device and in case of repeated occur- rence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fin- gers) please consult a physician.
