Risk Reduction
• It has been reported that vibrations from handheld
tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may inclu-
de 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. 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.
