It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held
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 the these symptoms.
There are measures that can be taken by the operator
to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When
operating 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.
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.

exposure per day.
