may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,

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:
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 the product. When using any tool for prolonged
periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
