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 swell-
ings. 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 anti-
vibration 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 condi-
tion of this tool.
SPECIAL
NOTICE: This unit is equip-
ped 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 California, Idaho, Maine,
Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and
Washington
require by law that many
internal combustion engines be
equipped with a spark arresting screen.
If you operate in a locale where such
regulations exist, you are legally re-
sponsible 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 require any ser-
vice. After 50 hours of use, we recom-
mend that your muffler be serviced or
replaced by your Sears Service Center.
