Hot Humid Weather  
Heavy protective clothing can increase operator fatigue which may lead to heat stroke. Schedule heavy work for early  
morning or late afternoon hours when temperatures are cooler.  
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 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.
