Any other use can be hazardous, causing damage to the machine. Examples of improper use
may include, but are not limited to:
–transport of people, children or animals on the machine;
–being transported by the machine;

–Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the
engine is running or when the engine is hot.
–If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of
spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel has evaporated and the vapour has
dispersed.
–Replace all fuel tanks and containers caps securely.
4)
Substitute faulty silencers.Never use the machine without a silencer.
5) Before use, always inspect the machine, especially the condition of the blades, and check
that the screws and cutting assembly are not worn or damaged.
Replace worn or damaged blades and screws in sets to preserve balance.
