[Jewelry making - Article 00807] - [Orchid] Ultrasonic cleaner and damage to hands

[Freak Style]

    Hi all, Just a quick question for my workplace.  Today I was holding
    the trees from the cast over the ultrasonic (by the bottom) as I
    always do after the trees from a cast have been blasted clean.  One
    of the jewellers told me that if I continued to do that over a long
    period of time the vibrations from the ultrasonic would damage the
    cartilege in my hands.  My team leader however disagreed saying that
    that risk is only present if you put your hands in the water of the
    ultrasonic.  I just need to find out which of these is correct so
    that I can make sure I'm not putting my long term health in jeopardy
    in any way.  Thanks. 

Tina
