GB SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of gasoline powered hand tools
could cause blood vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and wrists of people prone to
circulation disorders or abnormal swellings. 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
wrists, discontinue the use of this tool and seek medical attention.

low intensity. This field could interfere with certain pacemakers. To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury, persons with pacemakers should consult their doctor or the manufacturer of the
