Check fuel filler cap for leaks at regular
intervals.  Use the specified spark plug and
make sure it and the ignition lead are always
in good condition.

Remember that the risk of forest or grass fires is
greater in hot weather.

Keep spark plug and wire connection tight and
clean.  Spark plug electrode gap should be
checked with a feeler gauge at least every 50
operating hours and reset if necessary.  Fit a 
new spark plug if electrodes are badly pitted 
or fouled with carbon build-up.

Store Xtra Edger in a dry, high or locked 
location place and out of reach of children.

Before storing for a longer period, always empty
the fuel tank.

WARNING

A worn or damaged muffler is a fire

hazard and may cause loss of hearing.

Check to see that the muffler is in good 

condition.  The lawn edger must not be

operated if the muffler is not functioning

properly, is damaged, or has been removed.

In order to reduce the risk of fire, do not

modify or remove any part of the muffler

and ensure your spark arrestor screen 

is not worn or broken.

!

!

Keep the space behind and beside the engine
clear at all times to allow for the escape of hot
and toxic exhaust fumes.

Operate your machine under good visibility and
daylight conditions only.  Work carefully.

overreach.  Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
