Abstract Vibration models of the hand-arm system were developed with a view of integrating them into text benches for hand-held machines. The practical use of the model was verified by carrying out comparative measurements between vibrations to which operators are subjected and those recorded for the models. Results indicate good agreement between the measured values; however, there was less dispersion for the model values than for the operator values. Finally, the influence of impedance of a hand-arm system on the vibration of the hand-held machine and the influence of two hand-arm systems (ambidextral use of the tool) on the machine-operator system were examined. The results are conclusive and both hand-arm systems need to be taken into consideration when developing vibration models.
