RESIDUAL RISKS 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 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: 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. If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your physician about these symptoms. The vibration level during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. Identify safety measures to protect yourself based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use, taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time.
