SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations
through p rolonged 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 abnor-
mal 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 joints, discontinue the
use of this tool and seek medical attention. An
anti--vibration system does not guarantee the
avoidance of these problems. Users who oper-
ate power tools on a continual and regular basis
must monitor closely their physical condition
and the condition of this tool.
SPECIAL NOTICE: This unit is e quip ped
with a tempe rature lim iting m uf flerand spark ar-
resting screen which meets the requirements of
California Codes 4442 and 4443. All U.S. forest
land and the states of California, Idaho, Maine,
Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and W ashing-
ton require by law that many internal combus-
tion engines be equipped with a spark arresting
screen. If you operate in a locale where such
regulations exist, you are legally responsible for
maintaining the operating condition of these
parts. Fa ilure to do so is a violation of the law.
For normal homeowner use, the muffler and
spark arresting screen will not require any ser-
vice. After 50 hours of use, we recommend that
your muffler be serviced or replaced by your au-
thorized service dealer.
