aa) It has been reported that, for some people, the vibrations produced by the motorized
hand tools can lead to develop a disease called Raynaud's syndrome or white finger.
Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually
caused by exposure to cold. Heredity, exposure to cold and dampness, diet,
smoking and work habits are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There is currently no evidence that a certain type of vibration or
exposure actually contributes to the development of this assignment. Some
measures that can reduce the effects of vibration, can be taken by the operator:
•
Keep your body warm in cold weather. During use, wear gloves to keep your
hands and wrists warm. It has been reported that cold weather is one of the main
causes of Raynaud's Syndrome.
•
After each period of operation, exercise to increase circulation.
•
Take frequent breaks. Limit the duration of daily exposure.
•
Keep the tool well maintained, all fasteners tightened and worn parts replaced.
•
In case of occurrence of one or more of the symptoms described above, stop
using the tool and seek medical attention.

b) Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside a building where fumes can
reach an open flame or spark.
c) Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
d) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer and petrol storage area free of
vegetative material and excessive grease.
e) Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
f)
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.
g) Always clean and maintenance before storage.
