RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from
handheld products may contribute to a
condition called Raynaud's Syndrome in
certain individuals. Symptoms may include
tingling, numbness, and blanching of the
fi ngers, 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:

to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is
reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.

After each period of operation, exercise to
increase blood circulation.
