tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may
include 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.
It is presently unknown what, if any, vibrations or
extent of exposure may contribute to the condition.
There are measures that can be taken by the operator
to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
a) Keep your body warm in cold weather. When opera-
ting the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and
wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a
major factor contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
b) After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
c) Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and see your
physician about these symptoms.
