2.2.1. VIBRATIONS
The prolonged use of the machine, exposes
the client to vibrations that in extreme cases and
through many hours of use of the machine could
cause the ¨white finger syndrome¨ also known as
Raynaud phenomenon. This causes a reduction
in the tact of the fingers and their capacity
to regulate temperature generating a lack of
sensibility. This sickness could in extreme cases
cause problems with the nerve endings.
The exposure to the vibrations is the cause of
the white finger syndrome. To minimize this
effect as much as possible, follow the following
recommendations:
• Always use gloves.
