Hazards caused by repetitive movements
■
When circular and oscillating sawing machines or sawing
machines with reciprocating saw blades are used to perform
work-related tasks, the operator may experience unpleasant
sensations in the hands, arms, neck, shoulders or other parts of
the body.
■
When using circular and oscillating sawing machines or sawing
machines with reciprocating saw blades, the operator should
adopt a comfortable posture, ensuring a secure footing and
avoiding unfavourable postures or postures where it is difficult to
maintain balance. The operator should change positions during
the course of long-lasting tasks. This can be helpful in the preven-
tion of discomfort and fatigue.
■
If the operator notices symptoms such as persistent or recurring
illness, discomfort, throbbing, pain, tingling, burning or stiffness,
these indications should not be ignored.
The operator should consult a suitably qualified physician.
