may be malfunctioning.
35. In start-up or during operation of the engine, never
touch hot parts such as the muffler, the high voltage
wire, or the spark plug.
36. After the engine has stopped, the muffler is still hot.
Never place the unit in any places where there are
flammable materials (dry grass, etc.), combustible
gasses, or combustible liquids.

after the rain as the ground may be slippery.
38. If you slip or fall to the ground, release the throttle
lever immediately.
39. Be careful not to drop the unit or hit it against
obstacles.
40. Before proceeding to adjust or repair the unit, be
sure to stop the engine and detach the spark plug.
41. When the machine is placed in storage for a
long time, drain fuel/oil from the fuel/oil tank and
carburetor, clean the parts, and move the machine
to a safe place.
42. Make periodic inspections to ensure safe and
efficient operation. For a thorough inspection of

RESIDUAL RISKS
WARNING:
Even when the unit is used as prescribed it is not
possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The
following hazards may arise in connection with the unit's
construction and design:
4
• Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
• Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is
not worn.
• Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the
unit is being used over long periods of time or not
adequately managed and properly maintained.
WARNING:
This unit produces an electromagnetic field during
operation. This field may, under some circumstances,
interfere with active or passive medical implants. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend
persons with medical implants to consult their physician
and the medical implant manufacturer before operating
this unit.
WARNING:
Inspect unit before each use. Replace damaged parts.
Check for fuel leaks. Make sure all fasteners are in
place and secure. Replace cutting attachment parts that
are cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Make
sure the cutting attachment is properly installed and
securely fastened. Be sure the cutting attachment shield
is properly attached and in the position recommended
by the manufacturer. Use only flexible, nonmetallic line
recommended by the manufacturer. Never use, for
example, wire or wire-rope, which can break off and
become a dangerous projectile.
WARNING:
Do not operate the unit inside a closed environment,
such as a room or building; breathing carbon monoxide
from exhaust fumes can kill.

Mix and pour fuel outdoors where there are no sparks
and flames. Slowly remove the fuel cap only after
stopping the engine. Do not smoke while fueling or
mixing fuel. Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move at
least 3 m (10 ft) away from the fueling source and site
before starting engine.
