SAFETY
NOTICE:
Exposure to vibra-
tions through prolonged use of gasoline
powered hand tools could cause blood
vessel or nerve damage in the fingers,
hands, and joints of people prone to cir-
culation disorders or abnormal swelling.
Prolonged use in cold weather has been
linked to blood vessel damage in other-
wise 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
antivibration system does not guarantee
the avoidance of these problems. Users
who operate power tools on a continual
and regular basis must monitor closely
their physical condition and the condition
of this tool.
SPECIAL
NOTICE: This unit is
equipped with a temperature
limiting
muffler and spark arresting screen
which meets the requirements
of Cali-
fornia Codes 4442 and 4443.
All U.S.
forest land and the states of California,
Idaho, Maine, Minnesota,
New Jersey,
Oregon, and Washington
require by
law that many internal combustion
en-
gines be equipped with a spark arrest-
ing screen.
If you operate in a locale
where such regulations
exist, you are
legally responsible
for maintaining
the
operating
condition of these parts. Fail-
ure to do so is a violation of the law.
Refer to the MAINTENANCE section for
information
on maintenance
of the
muffler and spark arresting screen.
