FUEL SAFETY
• Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
• Use an approved container.
• Check fuel supply before each use, allowing space
for expansion as the heat of the engine and/or sun
can cause fuel to expand.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never
fill fuel tank indoors.
• Never remove petrol cap or add fuel with the
engine running. Allow engine to cool before
refueling.
• Do not smoke while refueling.
• After refueling, replace fuel tank cap securely and
wipe up spilled fuel.
• Never store fuel or edger with fuel in the tank inside
a building where fumes may reach an open flame.
STORAGE SAFETY
• Always refer to the operator’s manual instructions
for important details if the edger is to be stored
for an extended period.
• Never store the edger with fuel in the fuel tank
inside a building where ignition sources are
present such as water heaters, space heaters,
clothes dryers, etc.
• To reduce fire hazard, keep edger free of grass,
leaves, or other debris build-up.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
REPAIR, MAINTAINANCE, AND ADJUSTMENT SAFETY
• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine.
Remove the spark plug lead from the spark plug
and keep the spark plug lead away from the plug
to prevent accidental starting. Thoroughly inspect
the edger for any damage. If damaged, have the
equipment repaired by a trained technician before
restarting and operating.
• Stop the engine before cleaning, repairing, or
inspecting the unit. Make sure all moving parts have
stopped. Let the engine cool, disconnect the spark
plug lead and move it away from the spark plug.
• Never attempt to make any adjustments while
the engine is running except when specifically
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Keep the edger in safe working condition. Check
all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper
tightness.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• When servicing or repairing the edger, do not
tip the machine over or up unless specifically
instructed to do so in this Manual. Service and
repair procedures can be done with the edger in
an upright position. Some procedures will be easier
if the machine is lifted on a raised platform or
working surface.
• Use only original equipment or authorised
replacement parts.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
• Do not change the engine governor setting or
over-speed engine.
• Clean and replace safety and instruction decals as
necessary.
• To guard against engine over-heating, always have
engine air filter mounted and clean.
CHILDREN SAFETY
• Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children. Children are
often attracted to the edger and the edging activity.
• Keep children out of the edging area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Never assume that children will remain where you
last saw them.
• Be alert and turn edger off if children enter the
area.
• Before and while moving backwards, look behind
and down for small children.
• Never allow children to operate the edger.
• Use extra care when operating near blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obstruct
vision.
