SAFETY RULES
Safe Storage
• Always refer to the owner's manual instruc-
tions for important details if the Edger is to
be stored for an extended period.
• Never store the Edger with fuel in the fuel
tank inside a building where ignition
sources are present such as water and
space heaters, clothes dryers, and the like.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in
any enclosure.
• Keep the Edger in safe working condition.
Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for
proper tightness.
Repair / Adjustments Safety
• After striking a foreign object, stop the en-
gine. Remove the wire from the spark plug,
and keep the wire away from the plug to
prevent accidental starting. Thoroughly in-
spect the Edger for any damage, and re-
pair the damage before restarting and
operating it.
If Edger should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop engine and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
Stop the engine whenever you leave the
operating position. Also, disconnect the
spark plug wire before unclogging the
blade and when making any repairs, ad-
justments, or inspections.
When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting,
shut off the engine and make certain all
moving parts have stopped.
Never attempt to make any adjustments
while the engine is running.
