WARNING! Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you
take regular breaks.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools 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. 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 doctor about these symptoms.
