SPECIAL NOTICE:

For users on U.S.

Forest Land and in some states, including

California(Public Resources Codes 4442

and 4443), Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New

Jersey, Oregon, and Washington: Certain in-

ternal combustion engines operated on for-

est, 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 con-

structed, equipped, and maintained for the

prevention of fire. Check with your state or

local authorities for regulations pertaining to

these requirements. Failure to follow these

requirements is a violation of the law. This

unit is not factory equipped with a spark ar-

restor; however, a spark arrestor is available

as an optional part. If a spark arrestor is re-

quired in your area, contact your Authorized

Service Dealer for the correct kit. The spark

arrestor, blower tubes, and nozzles must be

assembled to the unit to be in full compliance

with the regulations.

SPECIAL NOTICE:

Exposure to vibra-

tions through prolonged use of gasoline

powered hand tools could cause blood ves-

sel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands,

and joints of people prone to circulation dis-

orders or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use

in cold weather has been linked to blood ves-

sel damage in otherwise healthy people. If

symptoms occur such as numbness, pain,

loss of strength, change in skin color or tex-

ture, or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or

joints, discontinue the use of this tool and

seek medical attention. An antivibration sys-

tem 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.
