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. 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.
3. 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.
4. Keep all parts of your body away
from moving cutting attachment
and hot surfaces.
5. 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
BEFORE STARTING
THE ENGINE
1. The area within a perimeter of
15 m (50 ft) 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 simulta-
neously by two or more persons,
care should also be taken to con-
stantly look around or otherwise
check for the presence and loca-
tions 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.
4. Always use the shoulder strap.
Adjust the strap for comfort be-
fore starting the engine. The strap
should be adjusted so the left
hand can comfortably hold the
handlebar grip approximately
waist high.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Keep bystanders and animals at
least 15 m (50 ft) away from the
operating point. If you are ap-
proached, 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 throttle le-
ver is pulled. When starting the
engine, place the product onto
the ground in a flat clear area and
hold it firmly in place so as to en-
sure that neither the cutting part
nor the throttle come into contact
with any obstacle when the en-
gine starts.
