WARNING 

DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or 
service with engine and blade running. STOP engine 
and blade. Disconnect spark plug wire and secure 
away from spark plug. Engine and components are 
HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow sufficient time for 
all components to cool. Wear heavy leather gloves 
when handling or working around cutting blades. 
Blades are extremely sharp and can cause severe 
injury. DO NOT use a cutting blade that shows signs of 
excessive wear or damage.
