Extensive use of the tool ex-
poses the operator to vibra-
tions, which can lead to circu-
latory issues ("white fingers").
To avoid this risk, wear gloves
and keep your hands warm. If
any symptoms of "white fin-
gers" occur, immediately con-
sult a physician. These symp-
toms include: Numbness, loss
of feeling, tingling, itching,
pain, reduced muscular
strength, changes in the co-
lour or condition of the skin.
Normally these conditions af-
fect the fingers, hands or
pulse. The risk increases at
low temperatures.
■
Take long breaks during your
working day so you can re-
cover from the noise and the
vibrations. Plan your work in
such a way that the use of ap-
pliances that generate strong
vibrations is spread over sev-
eral days.

If you notice an unpleasant
sensation or discolouration of
the skin on your hands when
using the tool, stop work im-

exposed to vibrations. Main-
tain the tool according to the

contact your dealer to pur-
chase anti-vibration accesso-
ries (e.g. handles).

Define how the vibration load
can be limited in a work plan.
