The Vibration characteristics of chain saws and their influence on vibration white finger disease / S.G. Hutton, N. Paris and R. Brubaker

Sumario: The vibration from chain saws can cause vibration-induced white finger disease (VWFD). Measurements of vibration levels on the front and rear handles of different chain saw-types, and on the operator's middle finger were collected at three logging camps on Vancouver Island. Factors effecting the vibration levels on the finger and handles were investigated
