IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 It has been reported that vibrations from gasoline pow-
ered tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include
tingling, numbness, and blanching of the fingers, usually
apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, ex-
posure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work
practices are all thought to contribute to the development
of these symptoms. It is presently unknown what, if any,
vibrations or extent of exposure may contribute to the
condition. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
a) Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep hands and wrists warm.
It is reported that cold weather is a major factor con-
tributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
b) After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
c) Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
d) Keep the tool well maintained, fasteners tightened,
and worn parts replaced.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your physician about
these symptoms.
 Store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.
 Wipe up any fuel spillage. Move 30 ft. away from refueling
site before starting engine. Slowly remove the fuel cap
after stopping engine. Do not smoke when refueling.
 Stop the engine and allow to cool before refueling or
storing the unit.
 Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer
bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before filling.
 Remove gas powered equipment from the truck or trailer
and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel such equipment with a portable container, rather
than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
 When fueling, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling
is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock open device.
 If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
 Never overfill fuel tank. After fueling, replace gas cap and
tighten securely.
 Do not change engine governor setting or over speed the
engine.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this product. If
you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions
also.
