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
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 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 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.
