to the hands, arms and shoulders.  To 

reduce the risk of vibration-related 

injury:

Anyone using vibrating tools regu-

1. 

larly or for an extended period should 

first be examined by a doctor and 

then have regular medical check-

ups to ensure medical problems are 

not being caused or worsened from 

use.  Pregnant women or people 

who have impaired blood circulation 

to the hand, past hand injuries, ner-

vous system disorders, diabetes, or

tion (such as tingling, numbness, and 

white or blue fingers), seek medical
