To reduce the risk of injury from loss
of control, be absolutely sure that the
cutting tool is clear of you and all other
obstructions and objects, including the
ground, because when the engine starts
at starting-throttle, engine speed will be
fast enough for the clutch to engage and
turn the cutting tool.

When you pull the starter grip, don’t
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not allow the grip to snap back, but
guide the starter rope to rewind it
properly. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in injury to hand or fingers and
may damage the starter mechanism.
With the engine running but at idle,
attach the trimmer to the spring hook of
your harness (see appropriate chapter
of this manual).

Operate and start your trimmer only
outdoors in a ventilated area.

Your trimmer
produces toxic exhaust
fumes as soon as the
engine is running. These
gases (e.g. carbon
monoxide) may be colourless and
odourless. To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury from inhaling toxic fumes,
never run the trimmer indoors or in
poorly ventilated locations.

Use of this product can generate dust
and fumes containing chemicals known
to cause respiratory disease, cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
If you are unfamiliar with the risks asso-
ciated with the particular dust or fume at
issue, consult your employer, govern-
mental agencies such as OSHA and
NIOSH and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other
authorities, for instance, have published
lists of substances known to cause
cancer, reproductive toxicity, etc.
Control dust and fumes at the source
where possible. In this regard use good
work practices and follow the recommen-
dations of OSHA/NIOSH and occupatio-
nal and trade associations. When the in-
halation of toxic dust and fumes cannot
be eliminated, the operator and any by-
standers should always wear a respira-
tor approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the
type of dust and / or fumes encountered.

The muffler and other parts of the engine
(e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)
become hot during operation and remain
hot for a while after stopping the engine.
To reduce risk of burns do not touch the
muffler and other parts while they are
hot.
Operate the trimmer under good
visibility and daylight conditions only.
Work carefully.
Do not cut any material other than
grass, weed or similar soft vegetation.
The cutting tools may be used only for
the operations described in your manual.
