SAFETY
WARNING
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless,
colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea,
fainting or death.
Start and run engine outdoors.
Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if
doors or windows are open.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Engine parts,
especially muffler, become extremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush,
etc. can catch fire.
Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool
before touching.
Remove accumulated combustibles from muffler
area and cylinder area.
Install and maintain in working order a spark
arrester before using equipment on forest-covered,
grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land.
The state of California requires this (Section 4442
of the California Public Resources Code). Other
states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply
on federal land.
WARNING
Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet,
hair, clothing, or accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can
result.
Operate equipment with guards in place.
Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling
drawstrings or items that could become caught.
WARNING
Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand
and arm toward engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could
result.
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until
resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
Remove all external equipment/engine loads
before starting engine.
Direct coupled equipment components such as,
but not limited to, blades, impellors, pulleys,
sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.
