RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported
from handheld tools may contribute to a
condition called Raynaud's Syndrome in
certain individuals. Symptoms may include
tingling, numbness, and blanching of the
fi ngers, 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. 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 product, 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.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of the product. When using
any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you
take regular breaks.
