IMPORTANT
Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or to
comply with local noise regulations. Continuous low speed opera-
tion may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston and cause
rapid build-up of carbon on the spark arrestor screen, resulting
in overheating and engine damage. To reduce harmful build-up,
run engine at wide open throttle for at least 5 minutes every hour,
and inspect/clean the spark arrestor screen after approximately 40
hours of operation.
WARNING
Moving parts can amputate ngers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all
openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop
before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit. Blower housing may contain shredder blades and
other sharp edges that can cause serious injuries if touched, even if engine is off and blades are not moving. Wear
gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and hot surfaces.
