EXTENDED OPERATION/EXTREME CONDITIONS

Vibration and Cold

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

recommendedbecause the minimum exposure whichmighttrigger the

ailmentisunknown.

• Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles, hands

and wrists.

• Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous armexercises

during frequent work breaks and also by not smoking.

• Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where

operating the trimmer 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.

Repetitive Stress Injuries

It is believed that overusing 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).AnextremeRSIconditionisCarpalTunnelSyndrome

(CTS), which could occur when your wrist swells and squeezes a vital

nerve that runs through the area. Some believe that prolonged expo-

sure 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 repetitivemove-

ment.

• Do exercises to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.

• Immediately stop using all power equipment and consult 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.
