BEFORE STARTING

THE ENGINE

1. The area within a perimeter of

15 m (50 ft) of the person using the product should be considered a hazardous area into which no one should enter. If necessary, yellow warning rope, warning signs should be placed around the perimeter of the area. When work is to be performed simulta- neously by two or more persons, care should also be taken to con- stantly look around or otherwise check for the presence and loca- tions of other people working so as to maintain a distance between each person sufficient to ensure safety.

2.Check the condition of working area to avoid any accident by hit- ting hidden obstacles such as stumps, stones, cans, or broken glass.

IMPORTANT

Remove any obstacle before begin- ning work.

3.Inspect the entire unit for loose fasteners and fuel leakage. Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly installed and securely fastened.

4.Always use the shoulder strap. Adjust the strap for comfort be-

fore starting the engine. The strap should be adjusted so the left hand can comfortably hold the handlebar grip approximately waist high.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1.Keep bystanders and animals at least 15 m (50 ft) away from the operating point. If you are ap-

proached, immediately stop the engine.

2. The product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch mechanism, so the cutting attachment begins to move as soon as the throttle le- ver is pulled. When starting the engine, place the product onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly in place so as to en- sure that neither the cutting part nor the throttle come into contact with any obstacle when the en- gine starts.

WARNING

Never place the throttle into the high-speed position when starting the engine.

3.After starting the engine, check to make sure that the cutting at- tachment stops moving when the throttle is moved fully back to its original position. If it continues to move even after the throttle has been moved fully back, turn off the engine and take the unit to your authorized ZENOAH servic- ing dealer for repair.

USING THE PRODUCT

IMPORTANT

Cut only materials recommended by the manufacturer. And use only for tasks explained in the manual.

1. Grip the handles firmly with both hands using your whole hand. Place your feet slightly apart (slightly further apart than the width of your shoulders) so that your weight is distributed evenly across both legs, and always be sure to maintain a steady, even posture while working.

2.Maintain the speed of the engine at the level required to perform cutting work, and never raise the speed of the engine above the level necessary.

3.If the unit starts to shake or vi- brate, turn off the engine and check the whole unit. Do not use it until the trouble has been prop- erly corrected.

4.Keep all parts of your body away from moving cutting attachment and hot surfaces.

5.Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or other metallic parts of the engine while the engine is in op- eration or immediately after shut- ting down the engine. Doing so

could result in serious burns or electrical shock.
