It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held 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. It is not known at present
what, if any, vibrations or extent of exposure may contribute to the condition. There are measures that can be
taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
(1) 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.
