It is believed that a condition called Reynaud’s phenomenon, which
affects the fingers of certain individuals may be brought about by
exposure to vibration and cold, loss of color and numbness in the
fingers. The following precautions are strongly recommended
because the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is
unknown. Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet,
ankles, hands and wrists. Maintain good blood circulation by
performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks and
also by not smoking. Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day
with jobs where operating the brush cutter or other hand-held power
equipment is not required.
If you experience discomfort, redness and swelling of the fingers
followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult your physician
before further exposing yourself to cold and vibration.
