4. Notes on Safety
General Safety Rules
Understand your machine
Allow operation only by properly trained adult,
never children.
Read and understand the operator's manual
and labels affixed to the machine. Learn its
application and limitations as well as the
specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and
their proper operation. Know how to stop the
machine and disengage the controls quickly.
Make sure to read and understand all the
instructions and safety precautions as outlined
in the Engine Manufacturer's Manual, packed
separately with your unit. Do not attempt to
operate the machine until you fully understand
how to properly operate and maintain the
Engine and how to avoid accidental injuries
and/or property damage.
Work area
Never start or run the engine inside a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are dangerous,
containing carbon monoxide, an odorless and
deadly gas. Operate this unit only in a well
ventilated outdoor area.
Never operate the machine without good
visibility or light.
Never operate the machine on a steep slope.
Personal safety
Do not operate the machine while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication
that could affect your ability to use it properly.
Dress properly. Wear heavy long pants, boots
and gloves. Do not wear loose clothing, short
pants, and jewelry of any kind. Secure long
hair so it is above shoulder level. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as a dust
mask, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Check your machine before starting it. Keep
guards in place and in working order. Make
sure all nuts, bolts, etc. are securely tightened.
Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral
before starting the engine.
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.
Never tamper with safety device. Check their
proper operation regularly.
Do not use the machine if the engine's throttle
control does not turn it on or off. Any gasoline
powered machine that can not be controlled
with the engine throttle control is dangerous
and must be replaced.
Form a habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from
machine area before starting it. A wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the machine may result in personal injury.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating the machine.
Do not overreach. Do not operate the machine
while barefoot or when wearing sandals or
similar lightweight footwear. Wear protective
footwear that will protect your feet and
improve your footing on slippery surfaces.
