When work is to be performed
simultaneously by two or more
persons, care should also be
taken to constantly look around
or otherwise check for the presence
and locations of other people
working so as to maintain a distance
between each person sufficient to
ensure safety.
2. Check the condition of working area
to avoid any accident by hitting
hidden obstacles such as stumps,
stones, cans, or broken glass.
IMPORTANT
Remove any obstacle before
beginning work.
3. Inspect the entire unit for loose
fasteners and fuel leakage. Make
sure that the cutting attachment is
properly installed and securely
fastened.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Keep bystanders especially children,
and animals at least 15 m (50 ft)
away from the operating point. If
you are approached, immediately
stop the engine.
2. The product is equipped with a
centrifugal clutch mechanism, so
the cutting attachment might begin
to 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 part nor the throttle come
into contact with any obstacle when
the engine starts.
WARNING
Never place the throttle into the
high-speed position when starting
the engine.
Never start the engine at the cutting
attachment side.
3. After starting the engine, check to
make sure that the cutting
attachment stops rotating when the
throttle is moved fully back to its
original 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 servicing dealer for repair.
USING THE PRODUCT
IMPORTANT
Cut only materials recommended by
the manufacturer. And use only for
tasks explained in the manual.
1. Grip the handles firmly with both hands
using your whole hand. Place your feet
slightly apart (slightly further apart than
the width of your shoulders) so that your
weight is distributed evenly across both
legs, and always be sure to maintain a
steady, even posture while working.
2. Maintain the speed of the engine at the
level required to perform cutting work, and
never raise the speed of the engine above
the level necessary.
3. If the unit starts to shake or vibrate, turn
off the engine and check the whole unit.
Do not use it until the trouble has been
properly corrected.
4. Keep all parts of your body away from
rotating cutting attachment and hot
surfaces.
5 . Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or
other metallic parts of the engine while the
engine is in operation or immediately after
shutting down the engine. Doing socould
result in serious burns or electrical shock.
6. While operating the machine be always
sure of a safe and secure operating
position especially when using steps or a
ladder.
IF SOMEONE COMES
1. Guard against hazardous situations at all
times. Warn adults to keep pets and
children away from the area. Be careful if
you are approached. Injury may result from
flying debris.
2. If someone calls out or otherwise interrupts
you while working, always be sure to turn
off the engine before turning around.

working order, perform the maintenance
and checking operations described in the

WARNING
The metallic parts reach high temperatures
immediately after stopping the engine.
