To ensure safe operation
Operator Responsibility
• Stop the engine with the engine switch to the OFF position in the
following cases:
– Before any operation around the cutting attachment.
– Before checking, cleaning or working on the grass/weed trimmer.
– After striking a foreign object. Inspect the grass/weed trimmer for
damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the grass/
weed trimmer again.
– If grass/weed trimmer starts to vibrate abnormally. Check
immediately the cause of the vibration and perform the necessary
repair.
– Whenever you leave the grass/weed trimmer unattended.
– Before refueling.
– When any person or pet is approaching.
– Shut off the engine immediately when the grass/weed trimmer
shows abnormal vibration suddenly. Sudden vibration can suggest
the damaged rotating parts or loose fasteners. Examine the cause
of the problem, and do not start the engine before repair is made.
– When wires catch on the wheeling cutting attachment and flap
around. Remove the wires after the cutting attachment has
stopped turning.
– Before placing the grass/weed trimmer on the ground, make sure
the cutting attachment stops turning as well.
Note that the cutting attachment is turning by inertia right after
returning the throttle trigger and while the engine is idling.
• The grass/weed trimmer is faulty when the engine is idling by
returning the throttle but the cutting attachment keeps turning, and
idle speed adjustment must be made. Consult your authorized Honda
dealer.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the grass/weed
trimmer is in safe working condition. Regular maintenance is an
essential aid to user’s safety and retaining a high level of
performance.
