1.9 Noise hazards
» Exposure to high noise levels can cause
permanent, disabling hearing loss and
other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing,
buzzing, whistling or humming in the
ears)� Therefore, risk assessment and
implementation of appropriate controls
for these hazards are essential�
» Appropriate controls to reduce the risk
may include actions such as damping
materials to prevent work pieces from
"ringing"�
» Use hearing protection in accordance
with the employer's instructions and
as required by occupational health and
safety regulations�
» Operate and maintain the die grinder as
recommended in this user manual, to
prevent an unnecessary increase in the
noise level�
» Select, maintain and replace the
consumable/inserted tool as
recommended in this user manual, to
prevent an unnecessary increase in noise�
» If the die grinder has a silencer, always
ensure that it is in place and in good
working order when the die grinder is
being operated�

1.10 Vibration and noise reduction

To reduce the impact of noise and vibration
emission, limit the time of operation, use
low-vibration and low-noise operating
modes as well as wear personal protective
equipment (PPE)�
Take the following points into account to
minimize the vibration and noise exposure
risks:
» Select, maintain and replace the
consumable/inserted tool as
recommended in this user manual, to
prevent an unnecessary increase in
vibration and noise levels�
» Use correct attachments for the die
grinder and ensure they are in good
condition�

» Hold the tool with a light but safe grip,
taking account of the required hand
reaction forces, because the risk from
vibration is generally greater when the
grip force is higher�
» Plan work schedule to spread any high
vibration tool use across a longer period
of time�
» Exposure to vibration can cause disabling
damage to the nerves and blood supply
of the hands and arms�
» Wear warm clothing when working in cold
conditions and keep your hands warm
and dry�
» If you experience numbness, tingling,
pain or whitening of the skin in your
fingers or hands, stop using the die
grinder, and consult a physician�
» Support the weight of the tool in a stand,
tensioner or balancer if possible�
» An improperly mounted or damaged
inserted tool can cause excessive
vibration levels�

1.11 Residual risks

Even if you are operating this die grinder in
accordance with all the safety requirements,
potential risks of injury and damage
remain� The following dangers can arise in
connection with the structure and design of
this die grinder:
» Health defects resulting from vibration
emission if the die grinder is used over
long periods of time or not adequately
managed and properly maintained�
