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
antivibretion
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.
SPECIAL
NOTICE: Your hedge trim-
mer is equipped
with a temperature
limiting muffler and spark arresting
screen which meets the requirements
of California
Codes 4442 and 4443.
All
U.S. forest land and the states of Cali-
fornia, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota,
New
Jersey, Oregon, and Washington
re-
quire by law that many internal com-
bustion engines
be equipped
with a
spark arresting
screen.
If you operate
a hedge trimmer in a state or locale
where such regulations
exist, you are
legally responsible
for maintaining
the
operating
condition
of these parts.
Failure to do so is a violation of the law.
For normal homeowner
use, the muffler
and spark arresting screen will not re-
quire any service. After 50 hours of
use, we recommend
that your muffler
and spark arresting screen be replaced
by your Sears Service Centre.
