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 dam-
age 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 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

forest land and the states of California,
Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey,
Oregon, and Washington
require by law
that many internal combustion engines

screen.
If you operate in a locale where
such regulations exist, you are legally
responsible for maintaining the operat-
ing condition of these parts. Failure to
do so is a violation of the law. For nor-
mal homeowner

spark arresting screen will not require
any service. After 50 hours of use, we
recommend that your muffler be ser-
viced or replaced by a Sears Service
