2.2.2. VIBRATIONS
The prolonged use of the machine, exposes the
client to vibrations that in extreme cases and through
many hours of use of the machine could cause the
¨white finger syndrome¨ also known as Raynaud
phenomenon. This causes a reduction in the tact of
the fingers and their capacity to regulate temperature
generating a lack of sensibility. This sickness could
in extreme cases cause problems with the nerve
endings.
The exposure to the vibrations is the cause of
the white finger syndrome. To minimise this
effect as much as possible, follow the following
recommendations:
• Always use gloves.
• Always have your hands warm.
• Take frequent breaks.
• Always hold the machine tightly by the handles.
If you detect any of the symptoms of the white finger
syndrome, consult immediately with your doctor.
