Surface treatment
The needle scalers can be used to remove rust, old paint-layers or concrete from surfaces. Also the removal of welding flux form the welding
seam is made easy be using the appropriate needle scaler. A wide range of shapes and sizes is available.
RSI
Repetitive strain injury, repetitive stress injury, or RSI is a term that most people have heard of. RSI is really a blanket name that is used to describe many different types of soft tissue injury including carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitus. A mixture of bad ergonomics, poor posture, stress, and repetitive motion usually causes it. If you work with needle scalers on a daily basis you are certainly at risk from repetitive strain injury. It may not be life threatening, but RSI has the potential to cause crippling disability
and pain. Early treatment is the key to success, because recovery can be a very slow process. Better of course is prevention.
How to avoid RSI?
�� A well-balanced power to weight ratio
�� Vibration reduced to a minimum
�� A rubber handgrip will dampen some of the vibrations and gives the operator a smooth and good grip.
