SPECIAL NOTICE: For users on U.S. Forest Land and in some states, including California(Public Resources Codes 4442 and 4443), Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington: Certain in- ternal combustion engines operated on for- est, brush, and/or grass covered land in the above areas are required to be equipped with a spark arrestor, maintained in effective working order, or the engine must be con- structed, equipped, and maintained for the prevention of fire. Check with your state or local authorities for regulations pertaining to these requirements. Failure to follow these requirements is a violation of the law. This unit is not factory equipped with a spark ar- restor; however, a spark arrestor is available as an optional part. If a spark arrestor is re- quired in your area, contact your Authorized Service Dealer for the correct kit. The spark arrestor, blower tubes, and nozzles must be assembled to the unit to be in full compliance with the regulations.
SPECIAL NOTICE: Exposure to vibra- tions through prolonged use of gasoline powered hand tools could cause blood ves- sel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of people prone to circulation dis- orders or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold weather has been linked to blood ves- sel damage in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in skin color or tex- ture, or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the use of this tool and seek medical attention. An antivibration sys- tem does not guarantee the avoidance of these problems. Users who operate power tools on a continual and regular basis must monitor closely their physical condition and the condition of this tool.
