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.
