SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibra­
tions through prolonged use of gaso­
line powered hand tools could cause
blood vessel or nerve damage in the
fingers, hands, and joints of people
prone to circulation disorders or abnor­
mal 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 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 guaran­
tee the avoidance of these problems.
Users who operate power tools on a
continual and regular basis must moni­
tor closely their physical condition and
the condition of this tool.
