GENERAL SAFETY RULES

MACHINE USE AND CARE

Gasoline operated machines are powerful and can cause serious injury if not used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. To reduce the risk of injury:

14.BE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH CONTROLS. Know how to stop the machine and relieve system pressure quickly.

15.KEEP THE AREA OF OPERATION CLEAR OF ALL PERSONS. Small children and pets should be kept a safe distance from work area.

16.AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes. Keep work area well lit.

17.USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

18.CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the machine, a guard, or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of mov- ing parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.

19.NEVER STORE THE MACHINE INDOORS WITH FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors. Empty fuel tank and restrain the unit from moving before transporting in a vehicle.

GASOLINE ENGINE SAFETY

Gasoline engines produce sparks and heat that are capable of igniting combustible vapors or materials and causing burn injuries, fire, or explosion. To reduce the risk of injury, observe the following:

20.KEEP THE ENGINE AWAY FROM FLAMMABLES AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. Keep the engine free of grass, leaves, or grease to reduce the chance of a fire hazard. Do not operate around dry brush, twigs, cloth rags, or other flammable materials. Make sure minimum clearance of 3 feet is maintained from combustible materials.

21.NEVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING (except where specifically recommended by the manufacturer). Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine is running.

22.KEEP THE AIR INTAKE AND EXHAUST MUFFLER FREE OF OBSTRUCTIONS AND FOREIGN OBJECTS. Keep all sides of the machine at least 3 feet away from buildings and obstructions.

23.ALWAYS OPERATE THE MACHINE on a level surface. If the engine is at an incline, it could seize due to improper lubrication (even at the maximum oil level).

24.DO NOT TOUCH THE SPARK PLUG AND IGNITION CABLE when starting and operating the engine.

25.CHECK FUEL HOSES AND JOINTS for looseness and fuel leakage before each use.

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE

26.KEEP MACHINE DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, or any solvents to clean machine.

27.BEFORE CLEANING, REPAIRING, OR INSPECTING, shut off the engine, make certain all moving parts have stopped and relieve system pressure. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.

28.CHECK BOLTS AND NUTS for looseness before each use. A loose bolt or nut may cause serious problems.

29.WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL MILWAU- KEE REPLACEMENT PARTS. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

30.MAINTAIN LABELS AND NAMEPLATES. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

31.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct other users. If you loan someone this machine, loan them these instructions also.
