5. For safe operation
■ FOR PROTECTING YOUR BODY FROM
VIBRATION
WARNING
Prolonged use of the product, exposing
the operater to vibrations and cold may
produce whitefinger disease (Raynaud's
phenomenon), which symptoms are
tingling and burning sensations followed
by loss of color and numbness in the
fingers.
All factors which contribute to whitefinger
disease are not known, but cold weather,
smoking diseases or physical conditions
as well as long periods of exposure to
vibration are mentioned as factors. In
order to reduce the risk of whitefinger
disease, the following precautions are
strongly recommended.
a: Keep your body warm. Never use the
product during rains.
b: Wear thick anti-vibration gloves.
c: Take more than 5 minutes of break in
warm place frequently.
d: Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do not
squeeze the handles with constant,
excessive pressures.
e: If you feel discomfort, redness and swelling
of your fingers or any other part of your
body, see a doctor before getting worse.

■ DISPOSAL
When disposing your machine, fuel or oil for
the machine, be sure to follow your local
regulations.
■ MUFFLER
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels
to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes
away from the user. A muffler fitted with a
catalytic converter is also designed to reduce
harmful exhaust gases.
WARNING
In countries that have a warm and dry
climate there is a significant risk of fire.
We therefore fit certain mufflers with a
spark arrestor screen. Check whether the
muffler on your machine is fitted with this
kind of screen.
For mufflers it is very important that you
follow the instructions on checking,
maintaining and servicing your machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty
muffler.
WARNING
Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters
get very hot during use and remain so for
some time after stopping. This also
applies at idle speed. Contact can result in
burns to the skin.
Remember the risk of fire!
WARNING
The inside of the muffler contain
chemicals that may be carcinogenic.
Avoid contact with these elements in the
event of a damaged muffler.
