■ Hazards associated with the starting of the outdoor
petrol-powered product. Ensure that you read and
fully understand the warnings and instructions in the
operator’s manual for the product you are intending to
start. Pay particular attention to fuel safety, breathing
of exhaust fumes, and contact with moving blades or
cutters.
RISK REDUCTION
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
fi ngers, 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 the 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 product, 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.
WARNING
Injuries maybe caused, or aggravated by prolonged use
of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
