reduce the risk of whitefinger disease.
g: Do not wear loose clothing, scarves,
neck chains, unconfineed long hair, and
like to reduce the risk of injury
associated with objects being drawn into

Personal protective equipment cannot
eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce
the degree of injury.
4. The ignition system of your unit produces
an electromagnetic field of a very low
intensity. This field may interfere with some
pacemakers. To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury, persons with pacemaker
should consult their physician and the
pacemaker munufacturer before operating
this tool.
