WARNING DANGER
Information on the routing of cables can
be obtained from public utilities and such
service providers as "Miss Utility" or
"One Call."
Operating Instructions
WARNING
Do not operate your power tool using the
starting throttle lock, as you do not have
control of the engine speed.
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the engine immediately – move the slide
control / stop switch / momentary stop
switch to 0 or STOP.
See section of your basic power tool
instruction manual on the proper use of
the slide control / stop switch /
momentary stop switch.
WARNING
The soil cultivating attachment
continues to rotate for a short period
after the throttle trigger is released
(flywheel effect).
To reduce the risk of eye and other injury
always wear proper eye protection (see
section on "Proper Clothing") and
ensure that bystanders are at least
16 feet (5 m) away. To reduce the risk of
damage to property, also maintain this
distance from such objects as vehicles
or windows. Any coworkers who must be
in the restricted area should also wear
goggles or protective glasses.
Stop the engine immediately if you are
approached.
WARNING
Before you start work, examine the area
for stones, glass, fence wire, metal,
trash or other solid objects. The soil
cultivating attachment could throw
objects of this kind.
WARNING
Replace a cracked, bent, warped or
damaged blade immediately, even if
damage is limited to superficial cracks.
Such attachments may shatter at high
speed and cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING
Avoid cutting close to fences, sides of
buildings, tree trunks, stones or similar
obstacles which could damage the blade
or lead to loss of control of the unit. Be
aware of a higher risk of ricochets in
such conditions. Flying objects or
Inhalation of certain
dusts, especially organic
dusts such as mold or
pollen, can cause sus-
ceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic
reaction. Substantial or
repeated inhalation of
dust and other airborne
contaminants, in particu-
lar those with a smaller
particle size, may cause
respiratory or other
illnesses. Control dust at
the source where possi-
ble. Use good work
practices, such as oper-
ating the unit so that the
wind or operating pro-
cess directs any dust
raised by the power tool
away from the operator.
Follow the recommenda-
tions of EPA / OSHA /
NIOSH and occupational
and trade associations
with respect to dust ("par-
ticulate matter"). When
the inhalation of dust can-
not be substantially
controlled, i.e., kept at or
near the ambient (back-
ground) level, the
operator and any
bystanders should wear a
respirator approved by
NIOSH / MSHA for the
type of dust encountered.
Your power tool is not
insulated against electric
shock. To reduce the risk
of electrocution, ensure
that there are no buried
power cables that may be
carrying electric current
that could come into con-
tact with the working tool.
Damaging such cables
with the tool can cause
electric shocks with seri-
ous or fatal
consequences.
