5. For safe operation
BEFORE STARTING
THE ENGINE
1. The area within a perimeter of
15 m of the person using the
product should be considered a
hazardous area into which no one
should enter. If necessary, yellow
warning rope, warning signs
should be placed around the pe-
rimeter of the area. 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 hit-
ting hidden obstacles such as
stumps, stones, cans, or broken
glass.
Remove any obstacle before begin-
ning work.
3. Inspect the entire unit for loose
fasteners and fuel leakage. Make
sure that the cutting attachment
is properly installed and securely
fastened.
4. Be sure the cutting attachment
guard is firmly attached in place.
5. Always use the harness. Adjust
the harness for comfort before
starting the engine. The harness
should be adjusted so the left
hand can comfortably hold the
handlebar grip approximately
waist high.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Keep bystanders and animals at
least 15 m away from the operat-
ing point. If you are approached,
immediately stop the engine.
2. The product is equipped with a
centrifugal clutch mechanism, so
the cutting attachment begins to
rotate as soon as the engine is
started by putting the throttle trig-
ger into the start position. 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
GB-8
IMPORTANT
the cutting part nor the throttle
trigger come into contact with any
obstacle when the engine starts.
WARNING
Never place the throttle trigger
into the high-speed position when
starting the engine.
3. After starting the engine, check
to make sure that the cutting at-
tachment stops rotating when the
throttle is moved fully back to its
original position. If it continues to
rotate even after the throttle trig-
ger has been moved fully back,
turn off the engine and take the
unit to your authorized ZENOAH
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. Keep cutting attachment below
waist level.
3. 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.
4. If the unit starts to shake or vi-
brate, turn off the engine and
check the whole unit. Do not use
it until the trouble has been prop-
erly corrected.
5. Keep all parts of your body away
from rotating cutting attachment
and hot surfaces.
6. Never touch the muffler, spark
plug, or other metallic parts of the
engine while the engine is in op-
eration or immediately after shut-
ting down the engine. Doing so
could result in serious burns or
electrical shock.
