5. For safe operation
BEFORE STARTING
THE ENGINE
1. The area within a perimeter of
15 m (50 ft) 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 perimeter of the area. When
work is to be performed simulta-
neously by two or more persons,
care should also be taken to con-
stantly look around or otherwise
check for the presence and loca-
tions 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 fas-
teners and fuel leakage. Make sure
that the cutting attachment is prop-
erly installed and securely fastened.
4. Be sure to attach the cutting attach-
ment guard securely in place, or you
may get serious injury.
5. Always use the shoulder strap. Ad-
just the strap for comfort before start-
ing the engine. The strap should be
adjusted so the left hand can com-
fortably hold the handlebar grip ap-
proximately waist high.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Keep bystanders and animals at least
15 m (50 ft) away from the operating
point. If you are approached, imme-
diately stop the engine.
2. The product is equipped with a cen-
trifugal clutch mechanism, so the cut-
ting attachment begins to rotate as
soon as the engine is started by put-
ting the throttle 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 the cutting part
nor the throttle come into contact with
any obstacle when the engine starts.

IMPORTANT
WARNING
Never place the throttle 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 has
been moved fully back, turn off
the engine and take the unit to
your authorized ZENOAH servic-
ing 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.
