■ 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 these symptoms. It is not known at
present what, if any, vibrations or extent of exposure
may contribute to the condition. There are measures
which can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce
the effects of vibration:
a) 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.
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.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.
