WARNING
Do not attach any cutting attachment to
a unit without proper installation of all
required parts. Failure to use the proper
parts may cause the blade or head to fly
off and seriously injure the operator or
bystanders.
WARNING
The cutting attachment must be properly
tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.) Replace damaged heads
before using the power tool.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,
grease or resin in order for you to
maintain a firm grip and properly control
your power tool.
WARNING
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
WARNING
Keep the deflector (and the attached
skirt where appropriate) adjusted
properly at all times (see chapters on
"Mounting the Deflector" and "Mounting
the Cutting Attachment" of your
instruction manual.)
Arrows on the deflector (as seen from
the underside)show the correct direction
of rotation of the cutting attachment.
When viewed from above, however, the
cutting attachment rotates
counterclockwise.
Adjust the hand grip and harness (if you
are wearing one) to suit your size before
starting work. The machine should be
properly balanced as specified in your
instruction manual for proper control and
less fatigue in operation. To be better
prepared in case of an emergency,
practise releasing the unit from the
harness as quickly as possible.
Starting
Start the engine at least 10 feet (3 m)
from the fueling spot, outdoors only.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your manual.
Place the power tool on firm ground or
other solid surface in an open area.
Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from blade or
line contact, be absolutely sure that the
cutting attachment is clear of you and all
other obstructions and objects, including
the ground, because when the engine
starts at starting-throttle, engine speed
will be fast enough for the clutch to
engage and move the cutting
attachment.
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should release the starting throttle
and allow the engine to slow down to
idle.
To reduce the risk
of personal injury
to the operator
from blade or line
contact and
thrown objects,
make sure your
unit is equipped
with the proper
deflector, handle
and harness for
the type of cutting
attachment being
used (see chart in
the chapter on
"Approved Combi-
nations of Cutting
Attachment,
Deflector, Handle
and Harness".)
