Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all
moving parts have come to a complete stop before removing
obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.

poison gas. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness, serious
injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS
position unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face

fires around dry vegetation. This unit is equipped with a spark
arrestor to prevent discharge of hot particles from the engine.

metal, or other hard objects. Contact local fire authorities for
laws or regulations regarding fire prevention requirements.
