OPERATION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held 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:
a. Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
b. After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
c. Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
d. Injuries may be caused, or aggravated by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged
periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.
