crush-resistant toe cap and protection against cuts (do
not wear sandals or work barefoot). c) Sturdy gloves
resistant to cuts and vibrations. d) Safety visor or

Health precautions
• Prolonged use of the machine or other equipment
expose the operator to vibrations that can cause the
White Finger Syndrome (Syndrome of Raynaud). This
could reduce the sensitivity of the hands in
distinguishing different temperatures and cause a
general numbness. The operator should therefore
check the conditions of the hands and fingers if the
machine is used continuously or regularly. If one of the
symptoms should appear, consult a doctor
immediately.
• Prolonged use of the machine or other equipment can
cause discomfort, stress, fatigue, hearing damage.
Wear suitable hearing protection when using the
machine. Correct and scrupulous maintenance can
also help to protect you further from the risk of noise
and vibration.
• Never start or run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated place.
