The vibration level during actual use of the power tool
n
can differ from the declared total value depending on
the ways in which the tool is used.
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools
n
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's 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:
•
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 Raynaud's Syndrome.
•
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
•
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.
