 • 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.
