Wear non-slip, heavy-duty work gloves to improve your grip on the engine drill handles. The gloves also help reduce the transmission of machine vibrations to your hands.

PROTECTING OTHERS

Spectators, children, fellow workers and animals must be warned to come no nearer than 4.6 m (15 feet) while the engine drill is in use.

People working in the area near you should wear the same protective equipment as the operator.

PHYSICAL CONDITION

Your judgement and dexterity may be impaired if you are ill or have taken alcohol or other substances known to affect the way you would normally function.

WARNING

PRECAUTION AGAINST 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 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 ENGINE DRILL 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.

Painful or numb fingers?

See your doctor
