DANGER
Risk of injury! Never use the appliance
without the spray lance attached. Check
and ensure proper fitting of the spray lance

the spray lance must be fingertight.
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.
