hands and wrists. Indications are for instance certain parts of the body go numb – tickles,
pains or twinges, changes in skin surface or skin color. At such situations, medical care
should be consulted.
- Suitable gloves and regular pauses will however extend the working periods. Please note
that personal dispositions for circulation problems in combination with rm and tight holding
at work can reduce the real working period substantially.
