3. Check the condition of working area to avoid any
accident by hitting hidden obstacles such as stumps,
stones, cans, or broken grass.
Remove any obstacle before beginning work.
4. Inspect the entire unit for loose fasteners and fuel
leakage. Make sure that the cutting attachment is
properly installed and securely fastened.
5. Always use the shoulder strap. Adjust the strap for
comfort before starting the engine. The strap should
be adjusted so the left hand can comfortably hold

■ STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Keep bystanders and animals at least 50 feet (15 m)
away from the operating point. If you are
approached, immediately stop the engine.
2. The product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch
mechanism, so the cutting attachment begins to
rotate as soon as the engine is started by putting the
throttle into the start position. When starting the
engine, place the product onto the ground in a flat
clear area and hold it firmly in place so as to ensure
that neither the cutting part nor the throttle come into
contact with any obstacle when the engine starts.
Never place the throttle into the high speed
position when starting the engine.
3. After starting the engine, check to make sure that
the cutting attachment stops rotating when the
throttle is moved fully back to its original position. If it
continues to rotate even after the throttle has been
moved fully back, turn off the engine and take the
unit to your authorized RedMax servicing dealer for
repair.
