SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA

 

To minimize fatigue, organize your work area so you can work comfortably.  Position your tablet, input tools, 
and keyboard for easy access without unnecessary reaching.  Position your monitor so you can view it 
comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain.  For best results, orient the tablet so the screen cursor follows the 
same direction as your hand movements on the tablet.

 

Note:

 

 Wacom makes no representation, promise or guarantee that Wacom products will cure or prevent, in whole or in 

part, mouse-induced repetitive stress symptoms, injuries or conditions.  Individual results may vary.  Always obtain 
competent medical advice to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific situation.

 

See working with the tablet for more information.

Take short breaks between 
tasks to stretch and relax your 
muscles.

Use a gentle grip when working 
with your tools.

Alternate tasks and tools 
throughout the day.

Maintain a good posture at all 
times.  Minimize awkward 
postures and repetitive 
movements that cause 
discomfort.

Change your position if you feel 
any discomfort due to your 
work position.
