ENGLISH
• NEVER
adjust edger blade height with
engine running. Stop engine, disconnect
spark plug lead, and make adjustments.
Wear work gloves to protect hands from hot
surfaces if unit has been in operation.
• NEVER allow edger blade to strike concrete
or other hard surfaces. Blade contact with
concrete and hard surfaces will dislodge
pieces of material and cause injury from
flying debris.
PAS TILLER/CULTIVATOR ATTACHMENT
Misuse, improper assembly, or use of unapproved attachments, can result in
serious injury, engine failure, and voiding of warranty. Use only attachments
approved for use on Pro Attachment Series models. Contact with moving
cutting or work attachments can cause entanglement and serious injury. Keep
clear of moving work attachment.
• NEVER use cultivator if parts are missing or
damaged.
• NEVER use cultivator if shield is not securely in
place.
• NEVER clean or reposition cultivator tines with
engine running. Stop engine and remove spark
plug lead.
• ALWAYS check ground for hidden obstacles
before use, and remove or mark location to
prevent striking with tines.
• NEVER use cultivator where there may be buried electrical wire, sprinkler
tubing, or underground pipes.
Clearing Jams
DANGER
If the cutting head/work attachment gets jammed by an obstruction
and can’t move, the clutch allows the engine to keep running. As
soon as the obstruction is removed, the cutting head/work attach-
ment will start moving again. To protect yourself from serious injury
when clearing jams, follow these important safety rules:
• ALWAYS
switch the unit off and disconnect the spark plug before clearing a
jam.
• NEVER reach for or try to remove jammed material while the engine is
running.
• ALWAYS inspect the cutting head/work attachment after clearing a jam to
make sure all jammed material has been cleared.
• ALWAYS make sure cutting head/work attachment has not been damaged.
