gasoline powered hand tools could cause blood
vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands,
and joints of people prone to circulation
disorders or abnormal swellings. Prolonged use
in cold weather has been linked to blood vessel
damage in otherwise healthy people. If
symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss
of strength, change in skin color or texture, or
loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints,
discontinue the use of this tool and seek medical
attention. An anti-vibration system does not
guarantee the avoidance of these problems.
Users who operate power tools on a continual
and regular basis must monitor closely their
physical condition and the condition of this tool.
