Workplace safety
1. The area within a perimeter of 15 m of the person using the product should be considered a hazardous area and should not be entered by anyone. If
necessary, warning rope and signs should be placed around the perimeter. When work is to be performed simultaneously by two or more people, everyone
should constantly be aware of the presence and location of other people working and maintain a distance between each person sufficient to ensure safety.
2. Check the condition of the working area to avoid any accident from hitting hidden obstacles such as stumps, stones, cans, or broken glass.
3. 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.
4. If someone calls out or otherwise interrupts you while working, always be sure to turn off the engine before turning around.
Remove any obstacle before beginning to work.
Starting the engine
1. Keep bystanders especially children, and animals at least 15 m away from the operating point. If you are approached, immediately stop the engine.
2. Inspect the entire unit for loose fasteners and fuel leakage. Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly installed and securely fastened.
3. 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.
4. 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 center for repair.
WARNING! Never place the throttle into the high-speed position when starting the engine. Never start the engine at the cutting attachment side.
Cut only materials recommended by the manufacturer and use the product only for tasks described in the manual.
Using the machine
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 necessary level.
3. If the unit starts to shake or vibrate, turn off the engine and check the whole unit. Do not use it until the problem has been properly corrected.
4. Keep all parts of your body away from rotating cutting attachments 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 so could result in serious burns or electrical shock.
6. When operating the machine, always ensure a safe working position, especially when using steps or a ladder.
Maintenance
1. In order to maintain your machine in proper working condition, perform the maintenance and inspections described in the manual at regular intervals.
2. Always be sure to turn off the engine before performing any maintenance, inspection procedures or working on the machine.
WARNING! The metallic parts reach high temperatures immediately after stopping the engine.
3. When replacing the cutting attachment or any other part, or when replacing the oil or any lubricant, always be sure to use only original parts or products
which have been certified by the manufacturer for use with your product.
4. In the event that any part must be replaced or any maintenance or repair work not described in this manual must be performed, please contact an authorized
service center for assistance.
5. Do not use any accessory or attachment other than those recommended for the unit by the manufacturer.
6. Do not disassemble or modify the product in any way. Doing so may result in damage to the product during operation or may prevent the product from
operating properly.
