FS 40, FS 40 C, FS 50, FS 50 C English 4 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. All factors which contribute to whitefinger disease are not known, but cold weather, smoking and diseases or physical conditions that affect blood vessels and blood transport, as well as high vibration levels and long periods of exposure to vibration are mentioned as factors in the development of whitefinger disease.
In order to reduce the risk of whitefinger disease and carpal tunnel syndrome, please note the following: —Most STIHL power tools are available with an anti-vibration "AV" system designed to reduce the transmission of vibrations created by the machine to the operator's hands.
An AV system is recommended for those persons using power tools on a regular or sustained basis. A power tool with loose components or with damaged or worn AV buffers will tend to have higher vibration levels.
Take frequent breaks. All the above-mentioned precautions do not guarantee that you will not sustain whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, continual and regular users should closely monitor the condition of their hands and fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear, seek medical advice immediately. Proper Clothing Warning! Be alert — if you get tired, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of control. Working with any power tool can be strenuous. If you have any condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work, check with your doctor before operating this machine.

Fueling Instructions In order to reduce the risk of burns and other personal injury from escaping gas vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler cap on your power tool carefully so as to allow any pressure build-up in the tank to release slowly. Never remove the fuel filler cap while the engine is running. Select bare ground for fueling and move at least 10 feet 3 m from the fueling spot before starting the engine. Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting your machine.

When transporting it in a vehicle, properly secure it to prevent turnover, fuel spill- age and damage to the unit.
Use extreme caution when handling gasoline or fuel mix. Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame near the fuel or the power tool. Note that combustible fuel vapor may escape from the fuel system. To reduce the risk of serious injury from burns, never attempt to refuel the unit until it has been completely removed from the operator.
Fuel your power tool in well-ventilated areas, outdoors. Always shut off the engine and allow it to cool before refu- eling. Gasoline vapor pressure may build up inside the fuel tank depending on the fuel used, the weather conditions and the tank venting system.
Check for fuel leakage while refueling and dur- ing operation. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or run the engine until the leak is fixed and any spilled fuel has been wiped away.
