pletely.
The plug and coupling of the extension
cable used must be watertight.

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.
