Raynaud's phenomenon (white finger disease)
The frequent use of vibrating machines may damage the nerves of persons suffering from bad
circulation (e. g. smokers, diabetics). In particular, fingers, hands, wrists, and/or arms may show
the following symptoms, but they may not be present: pain, prickling, stinging, falling asleep of
limbs, and paling of the skin.
• If you start sensing unusual impairment, stop working immediately and consult a doctor.
You may reduce your risks considerably by observing the following information:
• Keep your body and in particular, your hands warm in cold weather. Working with cold hands is
the main trigger of Raynaud's phenomenon.
• Take regular breaks, and stretch and exercise your hands. By doing so, you will increase your
circulation in your hands.

Concerning the use of fuels

Fuels are inflammable and explosive. Reduce the risk of explosion and fire as follows:
• Turn off and cool the motor down before filling the tank with fuel.
• Refrain from smoking and starting open fires when handling fuels.
• Store and mix fuels in approved and correspondingly labelled canisters.
• Store fuels in closed containers. Keep in mind that fuels may also evaporate at room tempera-
ture and collect on the floor of closed rooms (risk of explosion).
• Do not open the tank lid or refill with petrol when the motor is running or even when it is hot.
• If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the motor.
• Start the machine at least nine metres away from the fuelling location.
• If you need to empty the tank, do so out in the open.
Fuels are toxic! They contain substances that have an immediate toxic effect and may also cause
permanent damage to your health. Take all precautionary measures to prevent your body from
absorbing any of these substances:
• Tank and siphon fuels only outdoors or in well-ventilated rooms.
• Do not inhale fuel fumes.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin. If contact occurs, thoroughly rinse with water. If contact with
eyes occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
• Wear gloves when transferring fuel.
• When fuel has come into contact with your clothes, change them immediately. Clean your
clothes before putting them back on.
• Store fuels out of the reach of children.
When handled inappropriately, fuels may cause damage to the environment:
• Use caution when siphoning fuels. Fuel must never seep into the ground or the sewage system.
