2.2.1. 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.
2.3. WORKING AREA SECURITY
Maintain the workng area clean and work with good
light. Untidy working areas and dark conditions can
cause accidents.
Inspect the working area and remove all stones, wood,
cables and strange objects that could be touched and
propelled by the moving parts of the machine.
Do not use the machine in explosive atmospheres
or in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases
and powders. Electric machines can release sparks
that could ignite the inflammable liquids, gases and
powders.
