■ FOR PROTECTING YOUR BODY
FROM VIBRATION
Prolonged use of the product,
exposing the operater to vibrations
and cold may produce whitefinger
disease (Raynaud's phenomenon),
which symptoms are tingling and
burning sensations followed by loss of
color and numbness in the fingers.
All factors which contribute to
whitefinger disease are not known, but
cold weather, smoking diseases or
physical conditions as well as long
periods of exposure to vibration are
mentioned as factors. In order to
reduce the risk of whitefinger disease,
the following precautions are strongly
recommended.
a: Keep your body warm. Never use the
product during rains.
b: Wear thick anti-vibration gloves.
c: Take more than 5 minutes of break in
warm place frequently.
d: Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do
not squeeze the handles with constant,
excessive pressures.
e: If you feel discomfort, redness and
swelling of your fingers or any other
part of your body, see a doctor before
getting worse.

■ DISPOSAL
When disposing your machine, fuel or oil
for the machine, be sure to allow your
local regulations.
■ MUFFLER
The muffler is designed to keep noise
levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust
fumes away from the user. A muffler fitted
with a catalytic converter is also designed
to reduce harmful exhaust gases.
WARNING
In countries that have a warm and dry
climate there is a significant risk of
fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers
with a spark arrestor screen. Check
whether the muffler on your machine is
fitted with this kind of screen.
For mufflers it is very important that
you follow the instructions on
checking, maintaining and servicing
your machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty
muffler.
WARNING
Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters
get very hot during use and remain so
for some time after stopping. This also
applies at idle speed. Contact can
result in burns to the skin.
Remember the risk of fire!
