of hands ("White finger disease").
It is not possible to set a valid period of use in
general, since the effect of the vibrations depends
on several factors.
The following precautions will help to prolong the
duration of use

discomfort irrigation blood).
If you regularly use the machine for long periods
and that symptoms listed above (eg. tingling fingers)
is show several times, it is recommended to get by
