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
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 engines
be equipped with a spark arresting
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
use, the muffler and
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
Center.
