Prolonged use of an edger (or other
machines) exposing the operator to
vibrations may produce whitefinger
disease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or

any of the above symptoms appear,
seek medical advice immediately.

finger disease are not known, but cold
weather, smoking and diseases or
physical conditions that affect blood
