It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called
Reynaud's Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness
and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors,
exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to
the development of these symptoms. It is presently unknown what, if any, vibrations or extent of
exposure may contribute to the condition. There are measures that can be taken by the operator
to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
1. Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands
and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud's
Syndrome.
2. After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
3. Take frequent work breaks. limit the amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see
your physician about these symptoms.
1. The recommended cutting capacity of this chainsaw is 6" (15.2 cm) and smaller to prolong
the life of the tool and allow for safest operation. Cutting logs with a diameter larger than this will
cause excess wear on your tool. logs with a maximum diameter of 10" (25.4 cm) can be cut, but
should only be done so rarely and with caution.
2. The integral spiked bumper is designed to assist cutting. When forced against the log while
cutting it provides a more stable pivot point.
3. Any chainsaw is potentially lethal if used inappropriately. It is strongly suggested that you seek
professional training in the safety and use of this tool.
