THISCHAIN
SAW IS FOR OCCASIONAL
USE ONLY.
NOTE: Exposure tovibrations through prolonged use of
chain saws may produce Whitefinger disease
(Raynaud'_ pherm.,'_enon). This phenomenDn
reduces the hand's ability to feel and regulate
temperature, produces numbness and burning
sensations and can cause nerve and circulation
damage and tissue necrosis.
An anti-vibration
system designed to reduce
engine vibration is recommended for those using
chain saws on a regular or sustained basis and is
providedon Model 230OAV and 2300 CVA.An anti-
.vibrationsystem does not guarantee theavoidance
of Whitefinger disease, Continual and regular
users must monitor closely their use ofchain saws
and physical condition.
