certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in use and the operator

following:
■
injury caused by vibration
●
Always use the right tool for the job. Use
designated handles and restrict working
time and exposure.

Exposure to noise can cause hearing
injury. Wear ear protection and limit

RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from
handheld tools may contribute to a condition
called Raynaud's Syndrome. 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.
