Running engine produces 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.

•Keep children away from hot or running engines. They can suffer burns from a hot muffler.

•Remove accumulated combustibles from muffler and cylinder area.

Rotating engine 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 draw- strings or items that could become caught.

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.

•When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resis- tance is felt, then pull rapidly.

•Remove all external equipment/engine loads before starting engine.

•Direct coupled equipment components such as, but not limited to blades, impellers, pulleys, sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.
