It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held
■
tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaudʼs
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness and blanching of the
fingers, 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.
It is presently unknown what, if any, vibrations or extent
of exposure may contribute to the condition. There are
measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly
reduce the effects of vibration:
a) Keep your body warm in cold weather. When
operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands
and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is
a major factor contributing to Raynaudʼs Syndrome.
b) After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
c) 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
about these symptoms.
Keep the tool well maintained, fasteners tightened
■
and worn parts replaced.
Mix and store fuel in a container approved for fuel.
