Terms of Use
These Terms of Use contain important information essential for the correct and safe use of HAVS Protect. By using HAVS Protect, you agree to these terms.
Accuracy and Use of Measurement Data
Data from HAVS Protect should be considered indicative and not exact values. Several factors, including the device’s placement and pressure against the hand, affect the accuracy of the results. In addition, physical characteristics of the hand, such as thickness and density, can influence how representative the measurements are of the vibration exposure inside the hand. Users should treat these data as a helpful indicator rather than definitive measurements.
Correct Placement of the Sensor Unit
For tools with two handles, place the sensor on the hand that the tool manual indicates receives the highest vibration exposure. For all other tools, place the sensor on the user’s dominant hand (right hand for right-handed users, left hand for left-handed users). The sensor is intended to be worn directly against the skin on the back of the hand and under gloves. This protects the device from external influences such as moisture and dust.
Data Recorded
HAVS Protect is designed to measure and record the following data:
- Vibration exposure
- Usage time, both total and while using power tools
- Ambient temperature
This data collection supports better understanding and management of risks related to vibration exposure.
Charging Under Supervision
It is strongly recommended to always charge the device under supervision. This means charging in an environment where you can easily monitor it and quickly intervene if anything abnormal occurs. Avoid charging the device overnight or when you are not present.
Use of a Charging Bag
For additional safety, we recommend using a dedicated charging bag during charging. Note: A charging bag is not included. The bag is designed to reduce the risk of fire damage and other safety issues in the event of a battery fault. Place HAVS Protect in the bag, connect the charging cable, ensure the bag is properly closed, and place it on a non-combustible surface while charging.
Charging at the Correct Temperature
Only charge HAVS Protect in environments with temperatures above 0°C (32°F). At temperatures below 0°C, the battery may be damaged, indicated by a red blinking light on the device. Stop charging immediately and unplug the device if this occurs.
Battery Warranty
If the battery in your HAVS Protect stops working or shows significantly reduced capacity within the 1-year warranty period, we will replace the battery at no extra cost. To use the battery warranty, you must send the device to our service department for inspection and possible battery replacement.
Conditions for Warranty Claims
- The device must not have been opened, tampered with, or modified.
- Damage must not be caused by improper use, accidents, negligence, or external influences.
- The warranty does not cover damage to the outer shell caused by the user or damage due to moisture.
- If the device has been opened or the shell shows damage suggesting external impact or misuse, the warranty is void.
