Injury caused by vibration. Always use the right tool for 
the job, use designated handles and restrict working 
time and exposure.

protection and limit exposure

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, 

QXPEQHVV DQG EODQFKLQJ RI WKH ¿QJHUV XVXDOO\ DSSDUHQW

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:

 

Ŷ

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.

 

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 doctor about 
these symptoms.

 

 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.
