Safety

WARNING

Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.

•Operate equipment with guards in place.

•Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

•Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

•Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items that could become caught.

•Before unclogging the blade or making repairs, stop the engine by moving the throttle control to the stop position. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.

•Before you adjust the wheels or change the position of the blade, stop the engine by moving the throttle control to the stop position.

•Never leave the unit unattended while the engine is running.

•Keep bystanders away from machine.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler, become extremely hot.

Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.

Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.

•Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.

•Remove accumulated debris from muffler area and cylinder area.

•Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before using equipment on forest-covered, grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land. The state of California requires this (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal land.
