RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

WARNING:
The operation of any power tool can cause foreign objects to be thrown into your
eyes. This can lead to severe eye damage. Before commencing power tool operation, always
wear safety glasses or goggles that are marked as meeting ANSI Z87.1-1989 standards, and
a full face shield when needed.
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 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.
