■SPARK ARRESTER

•The muffler is equipped with a spark arrester to prevent red hot carbon from flying out of the exhaust outlet. Periodically inspect and clean as necessary with a wire brush. In the State of California it is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Pulic Resources Code) to equip a spark arrester when a gas powered tool is used in any forest covered, bush covered, or grass covered unimproved land.
