2.Do not use the Engine if the Engine’s Ignition Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Ignition Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
3.Disconnect the Spark Plug Wire from the Engine before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. Always disconnect the Spark Plug Wire before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. Maintain tools with care. Keep the Engine clean. Properly maintained engines are less likely to malfunction and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged Engine. Tag damaged engines “Do not use” until repaired.
4.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the Engine serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained equipment.
5.Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

2.When servicing the Engine, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instruc- tions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of injury and void applicable warranties.
