READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
OPERATING
Read the operator’s manual carefully. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls and proper use of the unit.
Know how to stop the unit.
Never allow children to operate the unit. Never allow
adults to operate the unit without proper instruction.
Inspect the unit before use. Check for fuel leaks.
Replace damaged parts. Make sure the cutting
attachment is properly installed and securely fastened.
Be sure the cutting attachment shield is properly
attached, and positioned as recommended. Failure to
do so can result in personal injury to the operator and
bystanders, as well as damage to the unit.
Use only 2.00 mm (0.080 inch) diameter genuine
replacement line. Never use metal-reinforced line,
wire, chain, or rope, etc. These can break off and
become a dangerous projectile.
Do not operate this unit when tired, ill, or under the
influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Be aware of the risk of injury to the head, hands and
feet.
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or
string which can be thrown or become entangled in
the cutting attachment.
Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets. At a
minimum, keep all children, bystanders and pets
outside a 15 m (50 ft.) radius; there still may be a risk
to bystanders from thrown objects. Bystanders should
wear eye protection. If you are approached, stop the
engine and cutting attachment immediately.
