SAFETY WARNINGS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING

Read the operator’s manual carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and proper use of the unit. Know how to stop the unit.

Never allow children to operate the unit. Never allow adults to operate the unit without proper instruction.

Inspect the unit before use. Check for fuel leaks. Replace damaged parts. Make sure the cutting attachment is properly installed and securely fastened. Be sure the cutting attachment shield is properly attached, and positioned as recommended. Failure to do so can result in personal injury to the operator and bystanders, as well as damage to the unit.

Use only 2.00 mm (0.080 inch) diameter genuine replacement line. Never use metal-reinforced line, wire, chain, or rope, etc. These can break off and become a dangerous projectile.

Do not operate this unit when tired, ill, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

Be aware of the risk of injury to the head, hands and feet.

Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attachment.

Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders and pets outside a 15 m (50 ft.) radius; there still may be a risk to bystanders from thrown objects. Bystanders should wear eye protection. If you are approached, stop the engine and cutting attachment immediately.
