SPECIAL NOTICE:
This unit is not
equipped with a temperature
limiting
muffler and spark arresting screen
which meets the requirements
of Cali-
fornia Codes 4442 and 4443. All U.S.
forest land and the states of California,
Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey,
Oregon, and Washington
require by
law that many internal combustion en-
gines be equipped with a spark arres-
tor screen. If you operate in a locale
where such regulations exist, you are
legally responsible for installing and
maintaining the operating condition of
these parts. Failure to do so is a viola-
tion of the law.
SPECIAL NOTICE: 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 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 tex-
ture, 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 operate power
tools on a continual and regular basis
must monitor closely their physical
condition and the condition of this tool.
