READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE OPERATING

•Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and proper use of the unit.

•Do not operate this unit when tired, ill, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

•Children and teens under the age of 15 must not use the unit, except for teens guided by an adult.

•Inspect the unit before use. Replace damaged parts. Check for fuel leaks. Make sure all fasteners are in place and secure. Replace cutting attachment parts that are cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Make sure the cutting attachment is properly installed and securely fastened. Be sure the cutting attachment shield is properly attached, and posi- tioned as recommended. Failure to so can result in personal injury to the operator and bystanders, as well as damage to the unit.

•Use only 0.095 inch (2.41 mm) diameter genuine manufacturer’s replacement line. Never use metal- reinforced line, wire, chain, or rope, etc. These can break off and become a dangerous projectile.

•Be aware of the risk of injury to the head, hands and feet.

•Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attachment. Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep all chil- dren, bystanders and pets outside a 50 feet (15 m) radius; there still may be a risk to bystanders from thrown objects. Bystanders should wear eye protec- tion. If you are approached, stop the engine and cutting attachment immediately.

•Squeeze the throttle control and check that it returns automatically to the idle position. Make all adjust- ments or repairs before using unit.
