grass, brush, etc. can catch fire if they come in contact
with a hot engine.

before touching grass-covered or brush-covered
unimproved land.

malfunctioned.

Do not insert your hand or finger between the pulley cover
and engine during operation to avoid injury to your hand.

it will move on its own. Move the throttle lever to low
gear and shut the plate compactor's engine off before
leaving the area.

period should first be examined by a doctor and then have
regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are
not being caused by or worsened from tool use.
