RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, upon exposure to cold. Hereditary
factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute
to the development of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operator to
possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
•
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and
wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
•
After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
•
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your
doctor about these symptoms.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool
for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.

KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when
the wood clases in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in sorne cases may
cause a lightning-fast reverse action, kicking the guide bar rapidly back towards the
operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide
bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw, which could result in serious injury to the user.
