Maintenance Safety
•
Disconnect the spark-plug wire from the spark plug before performing any maintenance procedure.
•
Wear gloves and eye protection when servicing the machine.
•
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result in serious personal injury. Wear gloves when servicing
the blade. Do not repair or alter the blade(s).
•
