BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
1. The area within a perimeter of 50 feet (15m) of
the person using the product should be
considered a hazardous area into which no one
should enter. If necessary yellow 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 grass.
Remove any obstacle before beginning work.
3. Inspect the entire unit for loose fasteners and
fuel leakage. Make sure that the cutting
attachment is properly installed and securely
fastened.
4. Always use the shoulder strap. Adjust the strap
for comfort before starting the engine. The strap
should be adjusted to fit your body according as
your working posture.

STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Keep bystanders and animals at least 50feet
(15m) 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
rotate 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.
