Page 9: Other Safety Precautions
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud's Phenomenon, which affects the fingers of cer- tain individuals, may be brought about by exposure to cold and vibration. Accordingly, your ECHO chain saw has an anti-vibration device designed to reduce the inten- sity of vibration received through the handles. - Page 10 WARNING Do not modify a chain saw in any way. Only attachments and parts supplied by ECHO or expressly approved by ECHO for use with the specific ECHO chain saw models are authorized. Although certain unauthorized attachments are useable with the ECHO powerhead, their use may, in fact, be extremely dangerous.
