1.Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
2.Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the spindle and
all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground
against the engine to prevent unintended starting.
3.Check the spindle and engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals for
proper tightness. Also, visually inspect spindle for damage. Replace with
the original equipment manufacture's (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this
manual. "Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment
specifications may lead to improper performance and compromise safety!"
4.Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
5.Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
6.After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug
wire and ground against the engine. Thoroughly inspect the string trimmer
for any damage. Repair the damage before starting and operating the string
trimmer.
7.Trimmer components, guards and shields are subject to wear and
damage which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For
safety protection, frequently check components and replace immediately
with original equipment manufacturer's (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this
manual. "Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment
specifications may lead to improper performance and compromise safety!"
8.Do not change the engine's governor setting or over-speed the engine.
The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
9.Check fuel line, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks.
Replace if necessary.
10.Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.
11.Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
12.Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. Improper disposal of
fluids and materials can harm the environment.
GENERAL SERVICE:
DO NOT MODIFY ENGINE
To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify engine in any way. Tampering
with the governor setting can lead to a runaway engine and cause it to
operate at unsafe speeds. Never tamper with factory setting of engine
governor.
