regulators, valves, and this gun and cup.
Check all equipment items before use and
make sure they can also be used safely
with these solvents. Read the label or data

H Z RD: CUMUL TIVE TR UM
DISORDERS ("CTD'S")
CTD's, or musculoskeletal disorders,
involve damage to the hands, wrists,
elbows, shoulders, neck, and back. Carpal
tunnel syndrome and tendonitis (such as
tennis elbow or rotator cuff syndrome) are
examples of CTD's.
C USE: Use of hand tools may cause
cumulative trauma disorders ("CTD's").
CTD's, when using hand tools, tend to
affect the upper extremities. Factors which
may increase the risk of developing a CTD
or
include:
1. High frequency of the activity.
2. Excessive force, such as gripping,
(in
pinching, or pressing with the hands
and fingers.
3. Extreme or awkward finger, wrist, or

CTD's can also be caused by such activities
as sewing, golf, tennis, and bowling, to
name a few.
S FEGU RDS: Pain, tingling, or numb -
ness in the shoulder, forearm, wrist,
hands, or fingers, especially during the
night, may be early symptoms of a CTD.
Do not ignore them. Should you exper ience
any such symptoms, see a physician
immediately. Other early symptoms may
include vague discomfort in the hand, loss
of manual dexterity, and nonspecific pain
in the arm. Ignoring early symptoms and
continued repetitive use of the arm, wrist,
and hand can lead to serious disability.
Risk is reduced by avoiding or lessening
factors 1-7.
