properly and do not have loose cuffs or drawstrings.
E.
Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your machine. If you have safety shoes, we
recommend wearing them. Do not use the machine while barefoot or wearing open
sandals.
F.
Wear long pants while operating the machine.
G.
Keep bystanders at least 50 feet away from your work area at all times. Stop the engine
when another person or pet approaches.
Safety for Children and Pets
WARNING
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets.
Children are often attracted to the machine. Never assume that children will remain where
you last saw them. Always follow these precautions:
A.
Keep children and pets at least 50 feet from the working area and ensure they are under
the watchful care of a responsible adult.
B.
Be alert and turn the machine off if children or pets enter the work area.
C.
Never allow children to operate the machine.
Safety with Gasoline - Powered Machines
WARNING
Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. Gasoline also gives off flammable vapor that can be
easily ignited and cause a fire or explosion. Never overlook the hazards of gasoline. Always
follow these precautions:
A.
Never run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation as the exhaust
from the engine contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless, and a deadly
poisonous gas.
B.
Store all fuel and oil in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose
and keep away from heat and open flame, and out of the reach of children.
C.
Replace rubber fuel lines and grommets when worn or damaged and after 5 years of
use.
D.
Fill the gasoline tank outdoors with the engine off and allow the engine to cool
completely. Don't handle gasoline if you or anyone nearby is smoking, or if you're near
anything that could cause it to ignite or explode. Reinstall the fuel tank cap and fuel
container cap securely.
E.
If you spill gasoline, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the machine away from
the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until the gas vapors have
dissipated. Wipe up any spilled fuel to prevent a fire hazard and properly dispose of the
waste.
F.
Allow the engine to cool completely before storing in any enclosure. Never store a
machine that has gas in the tank, or a fuel container, near an open flame or spark such
as a water heater, space heater, clothes dryer or furnace.
