1. SAFETY INFORMATION
1.1 Operating Safety
Only trained personnel are permitted to start, operate, and shut down the machine.
They have received instruction on how to properly use the machine and are familiar
with required safety devices.
Read, understand, and follow procedures in the Operator’s Manual before attempting
to operate the machine.
The machine must not be accessed or operated by children and people impaired by
alcohol or drugs.
NEVER operate this machine in application for which it is not intended.
NEVER operate the machine with the belt guard missing. Exposed drive belt and
pulleys create potentially dangerous hazards that can cause serious injuries.
NEVER allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper training. People
operating this equipment must be familiar with the risks and hazards associated with it.
Do not operate the machine with unapproved accessories or attachments.
Do not allow anyone to stank or lean on the unit during operation.
Do not run the machine indoors or in an enclosed area such as a deep trench unless
adequate ventilation, through such items as exhaust fans or hoses, is provided. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. Exposure
to carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and CAN KILL YOU IN
MINUTES.
Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or immediately after it has
been turned off. These areas get hot and may cause burns.
ALWAYS wear protective clothing, safety glassed, hearing protection, safety-toed
footwear to the job site while operating the machine.
ALWAYS close fuel valve on engines equipped with one when machine is not being
operated.
ALWAYS store the machine properly when it is not being used. The machine should be
stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children.

1.2 Operator Safety while using Internal Combustion Engines
Do not smoke when refueling the engine or during any other fuel handling operation.
Do not run the engine near sparks or open flames.
Do not start the engine if fuel has spilled or a fuel odor is present. Move the machine
away from the spill and wipe the machine dry before starting.
Do not refuel a hot or running engine.
Do not refuel the engine near sparks or open flames.
Do not spill fuel when refueling the engine.
Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or immediately after it has
been turned off. These areas get hot and may cause burns.
If fuel is spilled during refueling, wipe it off from the engine immediately and discard the
rag in a safe place. Do not operate the unit if fuel or oil leaks exist-repair immediately.
NEVER operate this equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
NEVER operate any gas powered equipment in a poorly ventilated or enclosed area.
NEVER perform any work on the unit while it is running. Before working on it, stop the
engine and disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting.
Avoid prolonged breathing of exhaust gases. You may be hurt by harmful exhausted
gases.
Avoid contact with hot exhaust systems and engine parts.
Allow engine to cool before performing any repairs or service.
ALWAYS transport and handle fuel only when contained in approved safety containers.
ALWAYS keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper, cartons,
etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and start a fire.
1.3 Service Safety
Read and understand the instructions contained in the manual delivered with the
machine before servicing or maintaining
Familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all controls and safety devices
before servicing or maintaining.
Contact local dealer for additional training if necessary.
Do not allow improperly trained people to service or maintain the machine. Personnel
servicing or maintaining the machine must be familiar with the associated potential
risks and hazards.
Do not attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running. Rotating parts can
cause severe injury.
Do not remove blades while the machine is hanging overhead.
Disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline engines, before
servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.
When replacement parts are required for this machine, use only our replacement parts
or those parts equivalent to the original in all types of specifications, such as physical
