SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS
STRICTLY NO FIRE
WARNING:
Handle petrol with care. It is highly flammable.
Move at least 3 metres away from the fuelling point before
starting engine.
DO NOT move the fuel tank cap when the engine is still warm
or running.
Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame (including smoke,
open flames, or work that causes sparks) in the areas where
fuel is mixed, poured or stored.
Always stop the engine to refuel the tank.
Handle in a clean and cleared place and away from fire.
DO NOT smoke while handling fuel.
Always store petrol in an approved container.
DO NOT refuel a hot engine. Wait until the engine has
cooled down.
Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Spilled fuel should always be
wiped up.
CHECKS BEFORE STARTING
Adjust the handle to a position for comfort and keep
good balance as recommend in this manual.
Make sure the unit is assembled properly.
Always use a harness when one is provided with the
unit. Balance the unit as recommended by adjusting the
position of the harness clamp on the shaft.

Hold the unit down firmly so you don't lose control while
cranking. If not held down properly, the engine could pull you
off balance or swing the cutting line into an obstruction or
your body.
DO NOT cut with a dull, cracked or damaged metal blade.
Keep the unit and attachments in good working
condition. Tighten fastening parts at regular intervals.
Check the cutting head assembly before use each time.
