ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

FOR OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS

WARNING: For each optional attach- ment used, read entire instruction manual be- fore use and follow all warnings and in- structions in manual and on attachment.

WARNING: Ensure handlebar is installed when using edger or brushcutter at- tachments. Attach handlebar above arrow on safety label on the upper shaft (engine end of unit).

Handlebar

EDGER SAFETY

WARNING: Inspect the area to be edged before each use. Remove objects (rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, etc.) which can be thrown by the blade or can wrap around the shaft.

WARNING: Blade rotates momen- tarily after the trigger is released. The blade can seriously cut you or others. Allow blade to stop before removing it from the cut.

S Throw away blades that are bent, warped, cracked, broken or damaged in any other way. Replace parts that are cracked, chipped, or damaged before using the unit.

S Do not attempt to remove cut material nor hold material to be cut when the engine is running or when cutting blade is moving.

SAlways keep the wheel and depth adjusting skid in contact with the ground.

SAlways push the unit slowly over the ground. Stay alert for uneven sidewalks, holes in the

terrain, large roots, etc.

SAlways use the handlebar when using edger attachment.

BLOWER/VACUUM SAFETY

WARNING: Inspect area before start- ing unit. Remove all debris and hard objects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can rico- chet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or damage during operation.

SDo not set unit on any surface except a clean, hard area while engine is running. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc., could be picked up by the air intake and thrown out through discharge opening, damaging unit, property, or causing serious injury to

bystanders or operator.

SNever place objects inside the blower tubes, vacuum tubes or blower outlet. Always direct the blowing debris away from people, animals, glass, and solid objects such as trees, automobiles, walls, etc. The force of air

can cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be thrown or to ricochet which can hurt people or animals, break glass, or cause other damage.

SNever run unit without the proper equipment

attached.

SCheck air intake opening frequently always with engine stopped and spark plug disconnected. Keep vents and discharge tubes free of debris which can accumulate

and restrict proper air flow.

SNever place any object in air intake opening as this could restrict proper air flow and cause damage to the unit.

SNever use for spreading chemicals, fertilizers, or other substances which may contain toxic

materials.

STo avoid spreading fire, do not use near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.

CULTIVATOR SAFETY

WARNING: Rotating tines can cause serious injury. Keep away from rotating tines. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug before unclogging tines or making repairs.

WARNING: Inspect the area to be cultivated before starting the unit. Remove all debris and hard and sharp objects such as rocks, vines, branches, rope, string, etc.

S Avoid heavy contact with solid objects that might stop the tines. If heavy contact occurs, stop the engine and inspect the unit for damage.
