Be sure to keep this manual handy so that you may refer to it later whenever any questions arise. Also note that you are requested to contact the dealer from whom you purchased the product for assistance in the event that you have any questions which cannot be answered herein.

Always be sure to include this manual when selling, lending, or otherwise transferring the ownership of this product.

This product has been designed for use in cutting grass, and it should never be used for any other purpose since doing so could result in unforeseen accidents and injuries occurring.

You should never use this brushcutter when under the influence of alcohol, when suffering from exhaustion or lack of sleep, when suffering from drowsiness as a result of having taken cold medicine, or at any other time when a possibility exists that your judgment might be impaired or that you might not be able to operate the brushcutter properly and in a safe manner.

Avoid running the engine indoors. The exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide.

Never use your brushcutter under circumstances like those described below:

1.When the ground is slippery or when other conditions exist which might make it not possible to maintain a steady posture while using the brushcutter.

2.At night, at times of heavy fog, or at any other times when your field of vision might be limited and it would be difficult to gain a clear view of the area where the brushcutter is to be used to ensure safety.

3.During rain storms, during lightning storms, at times of strong or gale-force winds, or at any other times when weather conditions might make it unsafe to use this product.

When using this product for the first time, before beginning actual work, take the brushcutter to a wide, clear, open space, turn on the power, and practice handling the brushcutter until you are sure that you will be able to handle in it properly in actual operation.

Lack of sleep, tiredness, or physical exhaustion results in lower attention spans, and this in turn leads to accidents and injury. When planning your work schedule, allow plenty of time to perform the work of cutting and allow plenty of time for rest. Limit the amount of time over which the brushcutter is to be used continuously to somewhere around 30~40 minutes per session, and take 10~20 minutes of rest between work sessions. Also try to keep the total amount of work performed in a single day under 2 hours or less.
