Operation Precautions (cont.)
25.
Use the equipment, accessories, etc.,
in
accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of
equipment, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the equipment for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
26.
Do not operate the equipment with known
leaks in the engine’s fuel system.
27.
This product contains or, when used,
produces a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects
or other reproductive harm.
(California
Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,
et seq.
)
28.
When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must
be cleaned up immediately.
Dispose of fluids
and cleaning materials as per any local, state, or
federal codes and regulations. Store oil rags in
a bottom‑ventilated, covered, metal container.
29.
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
Do not reach over or across
equipment while operating.
30.
Before use, check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that may affect
the equipment’s operation. If damaged, have the
equipment serviced before using.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained equipment.
31.
Use the correct equipment for the application.
Do not modify the equipment and do not use the
equipment for a purpose for which it is not intended.
Vibration Hazard:
This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long‑term
exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and
shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration‑related injury:
1.
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups
to ensure medical problems are not being
caused or worsened from use.
Pregnant women
or people who have impaired blood circulation to the
hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders,
diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this
tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration
(such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue
fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2.
Do not smoke during use.
Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration‑related injury.
3.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4.
Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
is a choice between different processes.
5.
Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it).
Let the tool do the work.
7.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual.
If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
