DANGER: This machine was built to be operated according to the safe operation practices in this
manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator
can result in serious injury. This machine is capable of amputating fingers, hands, toes and feet and
throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or
death.
DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an engine indoors can kill you in minutes. Engine
exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see
or smell. You may be breathing CO even if you do not smell engine exhaust.
• N EVER use an engine inside homes, garages, crawlspaces or other partly enclosed areas.
Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening
windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.
• O NLY use outdoors and far away from open windows, doors and vents. These openings can
pull in engine exhaust.
• E ven when the engine is used correctly, CO may leak into your home. ALWAYS use a battery-
powered or battery backup CO alarm in your house. Read and follow all directions for CO
alarm before using. If you feel sick, dizzy or weak at anytime, move to fresh air immediately.
See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
