4. FOR SAFE OPERATION
Check and follow the local regulations as to sound level and hours of operations
for the product.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
Beware of overhead power lines.
1. The area within a perimeter of 15 m of the person using the product should be
considered a hazardous area into which no one should enter. If necessary, ye-
llow warning rope, warning signs should be placed around the perimeter of the
area. When work is to be performed simultaneously by two or more persons,
care should also be taken to constantly look around or otherwise check for the
presence and locations of other people working so as to maintain a distance
between each person sufficient to ensure safety.
2. Check the condition of working area to avoid any accident by hitting hidden
obstacles such as stumps, stones, cans, or broken glass.
3. Always ensure all handles and guards are fitted when using the machine. Ne-
ver attempt to use an incomplete machine or one fitted with an unauthorized
modification.
4. Do not operate the machine with a damaged or excessively worn cutting
device.
Remove any obstacle before beginning work.
5. Inspect the entire unit for loose fasteners and fuel leakage. Make sure that the
cutting attachment is properly installed and securely fastened.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Keep bystanders, especially children, and animals at least 15 m away from the
operating point. If you are approached, immediately stop the engine.
2. The product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch mechanism, so the cutting
attachment begins to move as soon as the engine is started by putting the
throttle into the start position.
When starting the engine, place the product onto the ground in a flat clear area
and hold it firmly in place so as to ensure that neither the cutting part nor the
throttle come into contact with any obstacle when the engine starts.
