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.
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.
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.
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.

When servicing the Engine, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instruc-
