BEFORE STARTING
THE ENGINE
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, yellow
warning rope, warning signs
should be placed around the pe-
rimeter 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 hit-
ting hidden obstacles such as
stumps, stones, cans, or broken
glass.
IMPORTANT
Remove any obstacle before begin-
ning work.
3. 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 chil-
dren, 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.
NOTE
Check and follow the local regula-
tions as to sound level and hours of
operations for the product.
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 at-
tachment stops moving when the
throttle is moved fully back to its
original position. If it continues to
move even after the throttle has
been moved fully back, turn off
the engine and take the unit to
your authorized ZENOAH servic-
ing 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.
4. If the unit starts to shake or vi-
brate, turn off the engine and
check the whole unit. Do not use
it until the trouble has been prop-
erly corrected.
5. Keep all parts of your body away
from moving cutting attachment
and hot surfaces.
6. Never touch the muffler, spark
plug, or other metallic parts of the
engine while the engine is in op-
eration or immediately after shut-
ting down the engine. Doing so
could result in serious burns or
electrical shock.
5. For safe operation
