SPECIAL
NOTICE:
Your hedge trim-
mer is equipped

Codes 4442 and 4443.
All
U.S. forest land and the states of Cali-
fornia, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota,
New

quire by law that many internal com-
bustion

If you operate
a hedge trimmer in a state or locale
where such regulations
exist, you are

condition
of these parts.
Failure to do so is a violation of the law.
For normal homeowner

quire any service.
After 50 hours of

tions through prolonged
use of gaso-
line powered hand tools could cause
blood vessel or nerve damage

tinual and regular basis must monitor
closely their physical
condition
and the
condition
