and/or serious personal injury.

unfamiliar with the machine and these
instructions, to use it.

•
Switch off the engine and remove the
spark plug lead before adjustments or

Prolonged exposure to vibration can
cause numbness in hands and arms, or
more severe neurovascular complaint,
white fingers (Raynaud's syndrome), or
carpal tunnel syndrome. The risk of
developing such problems also depends
on hereditary disposition, exposure to
cold and damp, diet, smoking and work
experience. The relationship between
exposure to vibration and symptoms is still
not fully understood. Some of the
measures users can take to reduce the risk
of problems and injuries associated with
exposure to vibration are described below.
Coldness is a known risk factor for white
fingers:
–
Dress properly for the weather and
wear gloves that keep your hands
and wrists warm.
–
Move about to maintain your blood
circulation.
–
Take regular pauses in the work and
limit the total time spent working per
day.
•
Keep the machine in good condition –
tighten loose parts and fasteners, and
replace worn parts.
•
Stop working immediately and seek
medical attention if you experience
numbness, itching, tingling or pain, or if
your skin changes colour.
•
Handle and store the fuel only in
containers intended for petrol.
•
Handle and fill up with fuel outdoors and
