drugs or medication

sound levels, hearing protection
is required.

associated with thrown objects,
always wear eye protection and
foot protection. Approved

associated with objects being
drawn into rotating parts, do not
wear loose clothing, scarves, neck
chains, hair longer than shoulder

7. Prolonged use of a blower, exposing the operator to
vibrations and cold, may produce whitefinger
disease (Raynaud's phenomenon), the symptoms of
which include 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. Avoid
using the blower during rain.
b) Take more than 5 minutes of
break in a warm place fre-
quently.

sive pressure.
d) If you feel discomfort, redness and swelling of
your fingers or any other part of your body,
see a doctor before it gets worse.

electromagnetic field of a very low intensity. This
field may interfere with some pacemakers. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, people with
