WARNING

Prolonged use of any hand-held

powered machine exposing the

operator to vibrations may produce

whitefinger disease (Raynaud’s

phenomenon) or carpal tunnel syndrome.

These conditions reduce the hand’s

ability to feel and regulate temperature,

produce numbness and burning

sensations, and may cause nerve and

circulation damage and tissue necrosis.
