It has been shown that vibration level, feed force, and exposure duration cause unfavourable effects on the work performance when hand-held vibrating tools are used by operators. Present study analyzed the effects of these variables on the heart rate and blood pressure of the operators carrying out the drilling task. Under three different levels of vibration (0.3, 0.5, and 1m/s<SUP>2</SUP>), the operators performed the drilling for 3 minutes with three different levels of feed force (100, 200, and 300 N) in study 1, and for three different durations (10, 15, and 20 min) with a feed force of 200 N in study 2. Thirty male subjects participated in the two studies and data were analyzed on the basis of two factor repeated measure kind of experimental design. Results showed that in the kind of drilling task undertaken the level of vibration was statistically significant. However, the main effects of feed force and vibration exposure duration were statistically insignificant. These findings are discussed in the light of previous researches conducted on the subject.
