• When working in a dusty area, clean air cleaner element twice a day. Dirty air
cleaner element results in poor starting, poor performance, or short life.
• When a cutting blade is broken, replace it and the other blade with a new pair. A
broken blade causes excessive vibration, which damages machine.
• When something is tangled to cutting blade, stop engine immediately and
remove the tangled object. Such object causes excessive vibration, which
damages machine.
• Always clean cutting blades and cutting blade stay after every use ( see page
73). Remained foreign object may solidified or corrode and make cutting blades
hard to remove.
• Inspect the work site beforehand; inspect terrain and locate holes, drops, or
obstacles. Also inspect overhead obstacles such as the branches of a tree. Pay
special attention when working near these areas.
• Do not use this machine on an incline steeper than 25 degres for the CMX 224
or 15 degrees for the CM225 / 184.
• Always stay on machine when working.
• Make sure air intake for cooling is not clogged or blocked. If it is clogged or
blocked, it causes overheating, resulting in damages to machine.
