RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may
contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome in certain
individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and
blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking,
and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development
of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
• Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit
wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported
that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud's
Syndrome.
• After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood
circulation.
• Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per
day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about these
symptoms.
