turned off. The blade can seriously cut you or
others. Allow blade to stop before removing it
from the cut.
Throw away blades that are bent, warped,
cracked, broken or damaged in any other
way. Replace parts that are cracked,
chipped, or damaged before using the unit.
Do not attempt to remove cut material nor
hold material to be cut when the engine is
running or when cutting blade is moving.
Always keep the wheel and depth adjusting
skid in contact with the ground.
Always push the unit slowly over the

BLOWER/VACUUM SAFETY
WARNING:
starting unit. Remove all debris and hard ob-
jects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can
ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury
or damage during operation.
Do not set unit on any surface except a clean,
hard area while engine is running. Debris
such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc., could
be picked up by the air intake and thrown out
through discharge opening, damaging unit,
property, or causing serious injury to
bystanders or operator.
Never place objects inside the blower tubes,
vacuum tubes or blower outlet. Always direct
the blowing debris away from people,
animals, glass, and solid objects such as
trees, automobiles, walls, etc. The force of air
can cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be thrown or
to ricochet which can hurt people or animals,
break glass, or cause other damage.
