GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING:

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Fail-
ure to follow all instructions may result in electric shock, 
fire and/or serious personal injury.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

  For safe operation, read and understand all instructions 

before using this product. Follow all safety instructions. 
Failure to follow all safety instructions, can result in serious 
personal injury.

  Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this 

unit.

  Never start or run the engine in a closed or poorly venti-

lated area; breathing exhaust fumes can kill.

  Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects 

such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or loose string 
which can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting 
line or blade.

  Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to 

comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in 
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible 
serious injury.

  Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves. 

Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short pants, sandals, 
or go barefoot. Do not wear jewelry of any kind.

  Heavy protective clothing may increase operator fatigue, 

which could lead to heat stroke. During weather that is 
hot and humid, heavy work should be scheduled for early 
morning or late afternoon hours when temperatures are 
cooler.

  Product users on United States Forest Service land, and in 

some states, must comply with fire prevention regulations. 
This product is equipped with a spark arrestor; however, 
other user requirements may apply. Check with your 
federal, state, or local authorities.

  Never operate this unit on the operator’s left side.

 Secure long hair above shoulder level to prevent 

entanglement in moving parts.

 Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least  

50 ft. away. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear 
eye protection. If you are approached, stop the engine 
and cutting attachment. In the case of bladed units, there 
is the added risk of injury to bystanders from being struck 
with the moving blade in the event of a blade thrust or 
other unexpected reaction of the blade or saw chain.

  Do not operate this unit when you are tired, ill, or under 

the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication. 

  Do not operate in poor lighting.

 Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. 

Overreaching can result in loss of balance or exposure 
to hot surfaces.

  Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing 

on a solid surface enables better control of the unit in 
unexpected situations.

  Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part. 

  To avoid hot surfaces, never operate the unit with the 

bottom of the engine above waist level.

  Do not touch area around the muffler or cylinder of the 

unit, these parts get hot from operation. 

  Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire 

before making any adjustments or repairs except for 
carburetor adjustments. 

  Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners, fuel 

leaks, etc. Replace any damaged parts before use. 

  The cutting attachment should never rotate at idle during 

normal use. The cutting attachment may rotate at idle 
during carburetor adjustments.

  It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools  

may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome 
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, 
numbness, and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent 
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to 
cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices 
are all thought to contribute to the development of these 
symptoms. It is presently unknown what, if any, vibrations 
or extent of exposure may contribute to the condition. 
There are measures that can be taken by the operator to 
possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

 

a)    Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating 

the unit wear gloves to keep hands and wrists warm. 
It is reported that cold weather is a major factor con-
tributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.

  b)  After each period of operation, exercise to increase 

blood circulation. 

  c)  Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of  

exposure per day.

  d)  Keep the tool well maintained, fasteners tightened, 

and worn parts replaced.

  If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, 

immediately discontinue use and see your physician about 
these symptoms.

  Store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.

  Stop the engine and allow to cool before refueling or 

storing the unit.
