RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from
hand-held products may contribute to a
condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in
certain individuals. Symptoms may include
tingling, numbness and blanching of the
fingers, 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.
■

amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and
