SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of
chain saws may produce WhItefinger disease
(Raynaud’s phenomenon). This phenomenon
reduces the hand’s ability to feel and regulate
temperature, produces numbness and burning
sensations and can cause nerve and circulation
damage and tissue necrosis.
An anti-vibration system designed to reduce
engine vibration is recommended for those using
chain saws on a regular or sustained basis and is
provided on this saw. However, an antivibration
system does not guarantee the avoidance of
Whitefinger disease. Continual and regular users
must monitor closely their use of chain saws and
physical condition.
Notice: Refer to the Code of Federal Regulations, Section
1910,266(5); 2.5.1 of American National Standard
Safety Requirements for Puipwood Logging, ANSI
03.T1978; and relevant state safety codes when
using a chain saw for logging purposes.
