• Do all drilling at full throttle speed. Drilling at less at than full speed can damage the clutch by allowing it to slip.

WARNING PRECAUTION AGAINST VIBRATION AND COLD

PROTECTING OTHERS

Spectators, children, fellow workers and animals must be warned to come no nearer than 4.6 m while the engine drill is in use. People working in the area near you should wear the same protective equipment as the operator.

PHYSICAL CONDITION

Your judgement and dexterity may be impaired if you are ill or have taken alcohol or other substances known to affect the way you would normally function.

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 ENGINE DRILL OR OTHER HAND-HELD POWER EQUIPMENT IS NOT REQUIRED.

Painful or numb fingers?

See your doctor

• IF YOU EXPERIENCE DISCOMFORT,

REDNESS AND SWELLING OF THE FINGERS FOLLOWED BY WHITENING AND LOSS OF FEELING, CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE FURTHER EXPOSING YOURSELF TO COLD AND VIBRATION.

Repetitive Stress Injuries

It is believed that over-using the muscles and tendons of the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause soreness, swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme pain in those areas. Certain repetitive hand activities may put you at a high risk for developing a Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). An extreme RSI condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), which could occur when your wrist swells and squeezes a vital nerve that runs through the area. Some believe that prolonged exposure to vibration may contribute to CTS. CTS can cause severe pain for months or even years. To reduce the risk of RSI/CTS, do the following:

• Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted position. Instead try to maintain a straight wrist position. Also, when grasping, use your whole hand, not just the thumb and index finger.

• Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands.

• Reduce the speed and force with which you do the repetitive movement.

• Do exercise to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.

• See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in the fingers, hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the more likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.
