loss of strength, change in skin color or texture,
or toss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints,
discontinue the use of this tool and seek

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.
