certain residual risk factors. The following 

hazards may arise during use, and the 

operator should pay special attention to avoid 

the following: 

 

Ŷ

injury caused by vibration

 

Ɣ

Always use the right tool for the job. Use 

designated handles and restrict working 

time and exposure.

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from 

handheld tools may contribute to a condition 

called Raynaud’s Syndrome. Symptoms may 

include tingling, numbness and blanching of 

WKH ¿QJHUV XVXDOO\ DSSDUHQW XSRQ H[SRVXUH

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. There are 

measures that can be taken by the operator to 

possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

 

Ŷ

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.

 

Ŷ

After each period of operation, exercise to 

increase blood circulation.

 

Ŷ

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 physician.

 

 WARNING

Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by 

prolonged use of a tool. When using any 

tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take 

regular breaks.
