SAFETY
NOTICE:
Exposure to vibra-
tions through prolonged use of gasoline
powered hand tools could cause blood
vesset or net_/e 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 dam-
age in otherwise healthy people.
If
symptoms occur such as numbness,
pain, loss of strength, change in skin
color or taxNre, or loss of feeling in the
fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the
use of this tool and seek medical atten-
tion. An anti-vibration
system does not
guarantee the avoidance of these prob-
lems. 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.
Failure to do so is a violation
of the
law. For normal homeowner
use, the
muffler and spark arresting screen will
not require any service. After 50 hours
of use, we recommend
that your muf-
fler be serviced or replaced by a
Sears Service
Center.
