SPECIAL NOTICE:

For users on U.S. For-

est Land and in some states, including Califor-

nia(Public Resources Codes 4442 and 4443),

Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon,

and Washington: Certain internal combustion

engines operated on forest, brush, and/or grass

covered land in the above areas are required to

be equipped with a spark arrestor, maintained in

effective working order, or the engine must be

constructed, equipped, and maintained for the

prevention of fire. Check with your state or local

authorities for regulations pertaining to these re-

quirements. Failure to follow these requirements

is a violation of the law. This unit is not factory

your authorized service dealer for the correct kit.

The spark arrestor, blower tubes, and nozzles

must be assembled to unit to be in full com-

SPECIAL NOTICE:

Exposure to vibra-

tions through prolonged use of gasoline pow-

ered hand tools could cause blood vessel or

nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and

joints of people prone to circulation disorders

or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold

weather has been linked to blood vessel dam-

age 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 antivibration 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 condi-

tion of this tool.
