 FOR YOUR INFORMATION: it has been re-

ported that vibrations from hand-held 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, exposure to cold and damp-
ness, 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 con-
tribute 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 the 
hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold 
weather is a major factor contributing to Rayn-
aud’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.

CAUTIONS FOR FUEL AND REFUEL HANDLING
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be 
explosive under certain conditions, creating the 
potential for serious burns. When refueling, 
servicing  fuel system, draining gasoline and/or 
adjusting the carburetor:
Stop engine and allow it to cool before refuel-
ing. DO NOT smoke.
• Make sure the area is well-ventilated and free 
from any source of flame or sparks, including 
the pilot light of any appliance.
• DO NOT fill the tank so the fuel level rises into 
the filler neck or level surface of level gauge. If 
the tank is overfilled, heat may cause the fuel to 
expand and overflow through the vents in the 
tank cap. Wipe off any spilled gasoline imme-
diately.
• Engines can become extremely hot during nor-
mal operation.
To prevent fire hazard: Keep the engine at least 
1 m (3.3 ft) away from buildings, obstructions 
and other flammable objects. DO NOT place 
flammable objects close to the engine. DO NOT 
expose combustible materials to the engine ex-
haust. To avoid getting an electric shock, DO 
NOT touch spark plugs, plug caps or spark plug 
leads during engine running.
To avoid a serious burn, DO NOT touch a hot en-
gine or muffler. The engine becomes hot during 
operation. Before you service or remove parts, 
stop engine and allow the engine to cool.
