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,
followed by loss of colour and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly recommended be-
cause the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is unknown.
Keep your body warm, especially the head and neck, feet and ankles, and hands and wrists.
Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks, and also by
not smoking.
Limit the number of 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, con-
sult your physician before exposing yourself further to cold and vibration.

Repetitive stress injuries
It is believed that over-using the muscles and tendons of the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause sore-
ness, swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme pain to the areas just mentioned. Certain repetitive hand activities
may put you at a high risk for developing a repetitive stress injury (RSI). To reduce the risk of RSI, do the following:

repetitive movement.

nosed, the more likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.
