BLOWER/VACUUM SAFETY

WARNING: Inspect area before starting unit. Remove all debris and hard ob- jects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or damage during operation.

S Do not set unit on any surface except a clean, hard area while engine is running. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc., could be picked up by the air intake and thrown out through discharge opening, damaging unit, property, or causing serious injury to bystanders or operator.

SNever place objects inside the blower tubes, vacuum tubes or blower outlet. Always direct the blowing debris away from people, ani- mals, glass, and solid objects such as trees, automobiles, walls, etc. The force of air can cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be thrown or to ricochet which can hurt people or animals,

break glass, or cause other damage.

S Never run unit without the proper equip- ment attached. When using your unit as a blower, always install blower tubes.

SCheck air intake opening, blower tubes or vacuum tubes frequently, always with en- gine stopped and spark plug disconnected. Keep vents and discharge tubes free of de- bris which can accumulate and restrict proper air flow.

SNever place any object in air intake opening as this could restrict proper air flow and

cause damage to the unit.

SNever use for spreading chemicals, fertiliz- ers, or other substances which may contain

toxic materials.

STo avoid spreading fire, do not use near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.

BRUSHCUTTER SAFETY

DANGER: Blade can thrust violently away from material it does not cut. Blade thrust can cause amputation of arms or legs.

WARNING: Do not use trimmer head as a fastening device for the blade.

WARNING: The blade continues to spin after the trigger is released or engine is turned off. The coasting blade can throw ob- jects or seriously cut you if accidentally

touched. Stop the blade by contacting the right hand side of the coasting blade with ma- terial already cut.

WARNING: Inspect the area to be cut before each use. Remove objects (rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, etc.) which can be thrown or become entangled in the blade or trimmer line.

S Throw away and replace blades that are bent, warped, cracked, broken or damaged in any other way.

SInstall required shield properly before using the unit. Use the metal shield for all metal blade use.

WARNING: Only use brushcutter at- tachments that provide a metal shield with proboscis nose.

Proboscis nose

SUse only specified blade and make sure it is properly installed and securely fastened.

SCut from your left to your right. Cutting on the right side of the shield will throw debris

away from the operator.

SAlways use the handlebar and a properly adjusted shoulder strap with blade (see AS- SEMBLY instructions in brushcutter attach- ment instruction manual).

CULTIVATOR SAFETY

WARNING: Rotating tines can cause serious injury. Keep away from rotating tines. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug before unclogging tines or making repairs.
