SAFETY NOTICE:
Exposure to vibrations
through prolonged use of 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 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

avoidance of these problems. Users who op-
erate power tools on a continual and regular
basis must monitor closely their physical con-
dition and the condition of this tool.
