lt has been reported
that vibrations
from
hand,held
toots
may contribute to
a condition
called Raynaud's
Syndrome
in certain individuals.
Symptoms
may include
tingling,
numbness,
and
blanching ofthe
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. lt 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
oper-
ating the
unit wear
gloves
to keep 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.
d) Keep
the tool well
maintained,
fasteners tightened,
and worn
parts
replaced.
lf

experience
any of the symptoms
of this
condition,
immediately
discontinue

physician
about
these
symptoms.
