PHYSICAL CONDITION
Your judgement and/or dexterity may be impaired if you are ill, are taking
medication, and/or have taken alcohol or other substances known to affect the way
you would normally function. Operate this unit only if you are in good physical and
mental health.
VIBRATION AND COLD
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud's phenomenon which affects the
fingers of certain individuals is brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Your
litter collector has shock mounts designed to reduce the intensity of vibration
transmitted through the handles.
Exposure to cold and vibration may cause tingling and burning, followed by loss of
colour and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly
recommended because the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is
unknown.
1. Keep your body warm - especially your hands and wrists.
2. Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during
frequent breaks, and by not smoking.
3. If you do experience discomfort, consult your physician before further
exposing yourself to cold and vibration.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST REPETITIVE STRESS INJURIES
It is believed that overusing the muscles and tendons of the fingers, hands,
arms and shoulders may cause soreness, swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme
pain to the areas mentioned.
To reduce the risk of repetitive stress injury, do the following.
1. Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended, or twisted position.
2. Try to maintain a straight wrist position.
3. When grasping try to use your whole hand not just the index finger and thumb.
4. Take periodic breaks to minimise repetition and rest your hands.
5. Reduce the speed and force with which you do the repetitive movement.
6. Do exercises to strengthen hand and arm muscles.
7. See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in your fingers, hands,
wrists or arms.
