When the petrol cutting blade has been operated

for long hours, it may cause a circulatory disorder

due to vibration (Raynaud's disease). In this case, it is 

impossible to specify any length of operation,

because it may dier from person to person. The

following factors can have an inuence on this

phenomenon: Circulatory disorders in the hands of 

the operator, low outdoor temperatures, long hours of 

operation. Therefore, it is recommended to wear warm 

protective gloves, and to take breaks at regular intervals.
