Rotating parts can contact or entangle
hands, feet, hair, clothing, or
accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe
laceration can result.
WARNING
•
Operate equipment with guards in place.
•
Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
•
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
•
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling
drawstrings or items that could become
caught.
•
Before unclogging the blade or making
repairs, stop the engine by moving the throttle
control to the stop position. Disconnect the
wire from the spark plug.
•
Before you adjust the wheels or change the
position of the blade, stop the engine by
moving the throttle control to the stop position.

Keep bystanders away from machine.
Running engines produce heat.
Engine parts, especially muffler,
become extremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on
contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves,
grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.
WARNING
•
Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool
before touching.
•
Remove accumulated debris from muffler area
and cylinder area.
•
Install and maintain in working order a spark
arrester before using equipment on
forest-covered, grass-covered, brush-covered
unimproved land. The state of California
requires this (Section 4442 of the California
Public Resources Code). Other states may
have similar laws. Federal laws apply on
federal land.
Before performing adjustments or repairs:
•
Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it
away from the spark plug.
•
Use only correct tools.
•
Do not tamper with governor spring, links or
other parts to increase engine speed.
When testing for spark:
•
Use approved spark plug tester.
•
Do not check for spark with spark plug
removed.
Unintentional sparking can result in
fire or electric shock.
Unintentional start-up can result in
entanglement, traumatic amputation,
or laceration.
WARNING
Thrown debris can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes,
which can cause severe eye damage.

Never sharpen the blade, always replace.
Sharpening the blade will cause the blade
to shatter.

Before doing an adjustment, maintenance
or repair, disconnect the spark plug wire
and keep it away from the spark plug.
WARNING
Sharpening can damage the blade
and cause it to break.
Unintentional start-up can result in
entanglement, traumatic amputation,
or laceration.
