2.3.1 DO NOT run the machine indoors or in an enclosed area such as a deep trench

death.
2.3.2 DO NOT smoke while operating the machine.
2.3.3 DO NOT smoke when refueling the engine.

2.4 Service Safety

WARNING: Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In
order for the equipment to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
2.4.1 DO NOT attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running. Rotating parts
can cause severe injury.
2.4.2 DO NOT crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on gasoline-powered
engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out the spark plug opening.
2.4.3 DO NOT test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if the engine is flooded or the
smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite the fumes.
2.4.4 DO NOT use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to clean parts,
especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and solvents can become
explosive.
2.4.5 DO NOT remove blades while the machine is hanging overhead.
2.4.6 ALWAYS support the machine securely before changing blades.
2.4.7 ALWAYS keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper,
cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and start a fire.
2.4.8 ALWAYS replace worn or damaged components with spare parts designed and
recommended by our Corporation.
2.4.9 ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline engines,
before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.
