Safety Information
• Always keep hands and feet away from all pinch points.
• Do not touch parts that might be hot from operation. Allow parts to cool before attempting to
maintain, adjust, or service.
• Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should occur
during assembly, installation, and operation, maintenance, repairing or moving.
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents, hazards or unexpected
events involving the machine that occur to other people or their property. It is the responsibility of
the user to assess the potential risk of the area where work is being carried out. The operator or
user must take all necessary precautions to ensure their own safety and that of others, especially
on slopes or rough, slippery and unstable ground.
Inspect Your Machine
• Check your machine before starting it. Keep guards in place and in working order. Make
sure all nuts, bolts, etc., are securely tightened.
• You must check the general condition of the machine before use.
• Never operate the machine when it is in need of repair or is in poor mechanical condition.
Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts before using it. Check for fuel leaks. Keep the machine
in safe working condition.
• Do not use the machine if the engine’s switch does not turn off the engine when running. Any
petrol powered machine that can’t be controlled with the engine switch is dangerous and must
be replaced.
• If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a warning sign of trouble.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the engine’s switch is off before transporting the machine or
performing any maintenance or service on the unit. Transporting or performing maintenance or
service on a machine with its switch on invites accidents.
• Do not tamper with or disable safety systems. Only use manufacturer-recommended
attachments.
• Before using, always visually inspect to see that the tools are not worn out or damaged.
Replace worn out or damaged elements and bolts.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to ensure the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Keep the machine in good operating condition. Operating the machine in poor or questionable
condition could result in serious injury.
• Be sure all safety devices are in working order and warning labels are in place. These items are
installed for your safety.
