SPECIAL NOTE: Exposure to vibrations 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 circulation disorders
or abnormal swelling. 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 use of
this tool and seek medical attention. An anti-vibration
system does not guarantee avoidance of these
problems. Users who operate power tools on a regular
basis must closely monitor their physical condition and
the condition of this tool.
