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 atten-
tion. An anti-vibration

lems. Users who operate power tools

monitor closely their physical condition
and the condition of this tool.
SPECIAL
NOTICE:
This unit is
equipped

forest land and the states of California,
Idaho, Maine, Minnesota,

condition of these parts.
Failure to do so is a violation of the

muffler and spark arresting screen will
not require any service. After 50 hours
of use, we recommend
that your muf-
fler be serviced or replaced by a
Sears Service Center.
