OPERATION

OPERATION
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries.
Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all openings.
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.
Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a
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
and body.
Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start
fires around dry vegetation. This unit is equipped with a spark
arrestor to prevent discharge of hot particles from the engine.
Metal cutters can also create sparks if the cutter strikes rocks,
metal, or other hard objects. Contact local fire authorities for
laws or regulations regarding fire prevention requirements.

Operation With Blades

Metal blades are very sharp and can cause severe injuries, even
if engine is off and blades are not moving. Avoid contact with
blades. Wear gloves to protect hands.
Blade use demands specific brush cutter configuration.
Operation without specified shield, barrier bar or U-handle, and
harness can result in serious personal injury. Follow installation
instructions.
