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 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 oper­ate power tools on a continual and regular basis must monitor closely their physical condition and the condition of this tool.
WARNING: Make sure unit is proper-
ly assembled and all fasteners are secure. Examine parts for damage. Do not use dam­aged parts. It is normal for the fuel filter to rattle in the empty fuel tank. Finding fuel or oil residue on muffler is normal due to carburetor adjustments and testing done by the manufacturer.
