sure that the cutting attachment and the
debris guard are properly installed and
securely fastened.
3. Check the condition of working area to
avoid any accident by hitting hidden
obstacles such as stumps, stones, cans, or
broken grass.
IMPORTANT
Remove any obstacle before beginning work.
■ Starting the engine
1. Keep bystanders and animals at least 50
feet (15 meters) away from the operating
point. If you are approached, immediately
stop the engine.
2. The product is equipped with centrifugal
clutch mechanism, so the cutting
attachment could rotate as soon as the
engine is started. 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 attachment nor the throttle come
into contact with any obstacle when the
engine starts.

rotating when the throttle is moved fully
back to its original position (idle 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.
■ GENERAL WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
This section takes up the basic safety
precautions for working with an edger.
If you encounter a situation where you are
uncertain how to proceed you should ask an
expert. Contact your dealer or your service
workshop.
Avoid all usage which you consider to be
beyond your capability.
BASIC SAFETY RULES
1. Look around you:
• To ensure that people, animals or other
things cannot affect your control of the
machine.
• To ensure that people, animals, etc., do
not come into contact with the cutting
attachment or loose objects that are
thrown out by the cutting attachment.
• CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless
you are able to call for help in the event of
an accident.
2. Inspect the working area. Remove all loose
objects, such as stones, broken glass,
nails, steel wire, string, etc. that could be
thrown out or become wrapped around the
cutting attachment.
3. Do not use the machine in bad weather,
such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong
wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad
weather is tiring and often brings added
risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable
felling direction, etc.
4. Make sure you can move and stand safely.
Check the area around you for possible
obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches,
etc.) in case you have to move suddenly.
Take great care when working on sloping
ground.
