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.
4). Maintenance and storage
a) Keep all nuts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in
safe working condition.
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.
