mediately stop working and consult a physician. The symptoms of Raynaud's syndrome, including chronic
pain in fingertips, hands, and arms, are said to appear during long exposure to low temperatures.
It is unknown whether this syndrome is caused by temperature or time of exposure. Therefore, when per-
forming mowing work in cold areas or during cold seasons, be sure to take sufficient breaks in order to re-
store body temperature to your fingertips and hands.
■ Do not operate the mower while taking medication or under the in-
fluence of alcohol.
