DANGER: GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. DO NOT ADD
FUEL WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING OR IS HOT. KEEP OPEN FLAMES,
SPARKS, AND HEAT AWAY FROM THE FUEL AND STORE FUEL IN CONTAINERS
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THAT PURPOSE. ADD FUEL OUTDOORS ONLY
AND IF THE FUEL IS SPILLED, DO NOT START THE ENGINE. MANUALLY PUSH
THE EDGER AWAY FROM THE SPILLAND IMMEDIATELY WIPE UP.
Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can
collect. Carbon monoxide is odorless, tasteless, and can be fatal.
Edge only in daylight.
Disengage cutterhead drive before attempting to start the engine.
Watch for traffic when crossing surfaces other than grass, (i.e. transporting,) loading a trailer or
vehicle, or when the edger is not in use.
Never operate the edger unless the blade guard, belt guards, and debris guards are properly
in place.
Reduce speed on slopes to avoid tipping or loss of control.
Do not change the governor settings or over speed the engine.
Always stop the engine whenever you leave the edger, even for a moment.
Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the machine while
in operation
To help reduce the risk of a fire hazard, keep the engine and the area around the engine free of
grass, leaves, or any other type of foreign material.
Beware of cutting edges. Always wear gloves for safety when performing blade maintenance
activities. Beware on multiple blades units since the rotation of one blade may cause the
rotation of the other blade.
Always stop the blade when crossing gravel driveways, roads, or walk ways.
Never store the edger with gasoline in the tank in a building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark. Be sure engine has cooled before storing.
