To ensure safe operation
Operator Responsibility
• Stop the engine with the engine switch to the OFF position in the following
cases:
– Before any operation around the cutting attachment (nylon-line cutting
head or cutting blade).
– Before checking, cleaning or working on the grass/weed trimmer.
– After striking a foreign object. Inspect the grass/weed trimmer for damage
and make repairs before restarting and operating the grass/weed trimmer
again.
– If grass/weed trimmer starts to vibrate abnormally. Check immediately the
cause of the vibration and perform the necessary repair.
– Whenever you leave the grass/weed trimmer unattended.
– Before refuelling.
– When any person or pet is approaching.
– Shut off the engine immediately when the grass/weed trimmer shows
abnormal vibration suddenly. Sudden vibration can suggest the damaged
rotating parts or loose fasteners. Examine the cause of the problem, and do
not start the engine before
repair is made.
– When wires catch on the wheeling cutting attachment and flap around.
Remove the wires after the cutting attachment has stopped turning.
– Before placing the grass/weed trimmer on the ground, make sure the cutting
attachment stops turning as well.
Note that the cutting attachment is turning by inertia right after returning
the throttle trigger and while the engine is idling.
• The grass/weed trimmer is faulty when the engine is idling by returning the
throttle but the cutting attachment keeps turning, and idle speed adjustment
must be made. Consult your authorized Honda dealer.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the grass/weed trimmer is in safe
working condition. Regular maintenance is an essential aid to user's safety and
retaining a high level of performance.
