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.
WARNING
Never place the throttle into the high speed
position when starting the engine.
3. After starting the engine, check to make sure
that the cutting attachment stops rotating when
the throttle is moved fully back to its original
position. If it continues to rotate even after the
throttle has been moved fully back, turn off the
engine and take the unit to your authorized
servicing dealer for repair.
■
USING THE PRODUCT
IMPORTANT
Cut only materials recommended by the
manufacturer. And use only for tasks explained
in the manual.
1. Grip the handles firmly with both hands using
your whole hand. Place your feet slightly apart
(slightly further apart than the width of your
shoulders) so that your weight is distributed
evenly across both legs, and always be sure to
maintain a steady, even posture while working.
2. Keep cutting attachment below waist level.
3. Maintain the speed of the engine at the level
required to perform cutting work, and never
raise the speed of the engine above the level
necessary.
