Extended Operation / Extreme Conditions

Prolonged exposure to cold and/or vibration may result in

injury. Read and follow all safety and operation instructions to

minimize risk of injury. Failure to follow instructions may result

in painful wrist/hand/arm injuries.

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

unit or other hand-held power

equipment is not required.

• 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.
