SPECIAL
NOTICE:
Exposure to vibra-
tions through prolonged use of gasoline
powered hand tools could cause blood
vessel or nerve damage in the fingers,
hands, and joints of people prone to cir-
culation disorders or abnormal swell-
ings. 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 continu-
al and regular basis must monitor
closely their physical condition
and
the condition
of this unit.
