• 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. It is presently unknown
what, if any, vibrations or extent of exposure
may contribute to the condition. 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 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.
– 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 about these symptoms.
