Fig. 2
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud's Phenomenon, which affects the fingers
of certain individuals, may be brought about by exposure to vibration and cold.
Exposure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning sensations, followed by
loss of color and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly
recommended, because the minimum exposure, which might trigger the ailment, is
unknown.
● Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles, hands, and wrists.
● Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent
work breaks, and also by not smoking.
● Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where operating the hedge
trimmer or other hand-held power equipment is not required.

whitening and loss of feeling, consult your physician before further exposing yourself to
cold and vibration.
