Vibrations
Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates more vibration than cutting softwoods (most conifers). Cutting with cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty (wrong type or badly sharpened) will increase the vibration level.
! | WARNING! Overexposure to vibration |
can lead to circulatory damage or nerve | |
| damage in people who have impaired |
| circulation. Contact your doctor if you |
| experience symptoms of overexposure |
| to vibration. Such symptoms include |
| numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, |
| pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes |
| in skin colour or condition. These |
| symptoms normally appear in the |
| fingers, hands or wrists. These |
| symptoms may be increased in cold |
| temperatures. |
