WARNING
- The machine, when used correctly, is a useful and
effective tool; if used incorrectly or without the necessary
precautions, it can be dangerous. To ensure your safety
and comfort, always observe the safety instructions given
here below and throughout this manual.
- Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of
combustion engine-driven tools could cause blood vessel
or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and wrists of
people prone to circulation disorders or abnormal
swellings. Prolonged use in cold weather has been linked
to blood vessel damage in otherwise healthy people. If
symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of strength,
change in skin colour or texture, or loss of feeling in the
fingers, hands, or wrists, discontinue the use of this tool
and seek medical attention.
- The ignition system of your machine produces an
electromagnetic field of very low intensity. This field
could interfere with certain pacemakers. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injury, persons with pacemakers
should consult their doctor or the manufacturer of the
pacemaker before using this machine.
