■ For protecting your body from vibration
WARNING
Prolonged use of a blower, exposing the
operater to vibrations and cold may
produce whitefinger disease (Raynaud's
phenomenon), which symptoms are
tingling and burning sensations followed
by loss of color and numbness in the
fingers.
All factors which contribute to whitefinger
disease are not known, but cold weather,
smoking diseases or physical conditions
as well as long periods of exposure to
vibration are mentioned as factors.
In order to reduce the risk of whitefinger
disease, the following precautions are
strongly recommended.
a: Keep your body warm. Never use
blower during rains.
b: Wear thick anti-vibration gloves.
c: Take more than 5 minutes of break in
warm place frequently.
d: Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do
not squeeze the handles with constant,
excessive pressures.
e: If you feel discomfort, redness and
swelling of your fingers or any other part
of your body, see a doctor before getting
worse.
