VIBRATION
WARNING: When using this machine the
operator can be exposed to high levels
of vibration transmitted to the hand and
arm. It is possible that the operator could
develop “Vibration white finger disease”
(Raynaud syndrome). This condition can
reduce the sensitivity of the hand to
temperature as well as producing general
numbness. Prolonged or regular users of
mitre saws should monitor the condition of
their hands and fingers closely. If any of the
symptoms become evident, seek immediate
medical advice.
a) The actual vibration level during use will
depend on the workpiece stability/rigidity and
the condition of the cutter being used. These
factors may increase the vibration
experienced by the operator. Each individual
application of the tool should be assessed
for the effect of these application variable
factors, before exposure.
b) The measurement and assessment of
human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration
in the workplace is given in:
BS EN ISO 5349-1:2001 and
BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002
c) The following factors can influence the level
of vibration. Reducing these factors will help to
reduce the effects of vibration:
Handling:
Pressing effort.
Hand gripping force depending on the working
direction.
Adjustment of the energy supply (avoidance of
excessive energy).
Workpiece
Workpiece material (density, strength).
Stability.
Rigidity.
Security.
