PRECAUTIONS ON SALES PROMOTION

1.Safety Instructions

In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Models CG 40EAF (LP) and CG 40EBF
(L) Engine Brushcutters by all of our customers, it is very important that when concluding a sale that the
salesperson carefully ensure that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the Handling
Instructions, and fully understands the precautions listed on the Caution Plate attached to each tool.
Salespersons should instruct customers to read the instruction manual for how to handle, maintain, inspect
and store the tool. In particular, instruct customers to periodically check the product. The persons in charge
of sales should take all possible measures to assure the expendible supply system and the repairing
system.
A. Handling Instructions
Although every effort is made in each step of design, manufacture, and inspection to provide protection
against safety hazards, the dangers inherent in the use of any power tool cannot be completely eliminated.
Accordingly, the Handling Instructions list general precautions and suggestions on the use of gas-powered
tools, and specific precautions and suggestions on the use of backpack engine brushcutters to enhance the
safe, efficient use of the tool by customers. Salespersons must be thoroughly familiar with the Handling
Instructions in order to offer appropriate guidance to the customer during sales promotion activities.
B. Caution Plate
The CG 40EAF (LP) and CG 40EBF (L) units are each provided with a Caution Plate (illustrated below) that
lists basic safety precautions on use of these tools. Carefully ensure that the customer fully understands
and follows these precautions before using the tool.
