THE OPERATOR
Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition
and mental health and not under the
influence of any substance (drugs,
alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,
dexterity or judgment. Do not operate an
electric trimmer when you are fatigued.
Be alert. Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense. If you get tired while
operating your electric trimmer, take a
break. Tiredness may result in loss of
control. Working with any trimmer can
be strenuous. If you have any condition
that might be aggravated by strenuous
work, check with your doctor before
operating a trimmer.
!
Warning!
Prolonged use of an electric trimmer (or
other machines) exposing the operator
to vibrations may produce whitefinger
disease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or
carpal tunnel syndrome. These
conditions reduce the hand's ability to
feel and regulate temperature, produce
numbness and burning sensations and
may cause nerve and circulation
damage and tissue necrosis.
FSE 60
All factors which contribute to white-
finger disease are not known, but cold
weather, smoking and diseases or
physical conditions that affect blood
vessels and blood transport, as well as
high vibration levels and long periods of
exposure to vibration are mentioned as
factors in the development of whitefinger
disease. In order to reduce the risk of
whitefinger disease and carpal tunnel
syndrome, please note the following:
: Wear gloves and keep your hands
warm.
: Maintain a firm grip at all times, but
do not squeeze the handles with
constant, excessive pressure; take
frequent breaks.
All the above mentioned precautions do
not guarantee that you will not sustain
whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel
syndrome. Therefore, continual and
regular users should closely monitor the
condition of their hands and fingers. If
any of the above symptoms appear,
seek medical advice immediately.
