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 swellings. 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 med-

ical attention. An anti-vibration system does

not guarantee the avoidance of these prob-

lems. Users who operate power tools on a

continual and regular basis must monitor

closely their physical condition and the condi-

tion of this unit.
