WORKING CIRCUMSTANCE
• Never start the engine inside a closed room or building. Exhaust
gases contain dangerous carbon monoxide.
• Never use the product
1. when the ground is slippery or when you can’t maintain a
stead posture.
2. at night, at times of heavy fog, or at any other times when
your field of vision might be limited and it would be diicult
to gain a clear view of the working area.
3. during rain storms, during lightening storms, at times of
strong gale-force winds, or at any other time when
weather conditions might make it unsafe to use the product.
WORKING PLAN
• You should never use this product when under the influence of

any other time when a possibility exists that your judgment might be
impairs or that you might not be able to operate the product properly
and in a safe manner.
• When planning your work schedule, allow plenty of time to rest.
Limit the amount of time over which the product is to be used
continuously to somewhere around 30-40 minutes per session, and
take 10-20 minutes of rest between sessions. Also try to keep the total
amount of work performed in a single day under 2 hours.
• If you don’t observe the working time or working manner repetitive
strain injury could occur,
• If you feel discomfort, redness and swelling of your fingers or any
other part of your body, see a doctor before getting worse.
• To avoid noise complaints operate product between 9am and 5pm.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
• The area within a perimeter of 15m of the person using the product
should be considered a hazardous area into which no-one should
enter. If necessary, yellow warning rope and warning signs should
be placed around the perimeter of the area. When work is performed
simultaneously by two or more persons, care should be taken to
constantly look around or otherwise check for the presence and
locations of other people working so as to maintain a distance
between each person suicient to ensure safety.
• Check the condition of working area to avoid any accident by hitting
hidden obstacles such as stumps, stones, cans or broken glass.
• Inspect the entire unit for loose fasteners and fuel leakage. Make
sure that the cutting attachment is properly installed and securely
fastened.
• Be sure to attach the cutting attachment guard securely in place, or
you may injure yourself.
• Always us the harness. Adjust the harness for comfort before
starting the engine. The harness should be adjusted so the left hand

STARTING THE ENGINE
• Keep bystanders and animals at least 15m (50ft) away from the
operating point. If you are approached, immediately stop the engine.
• The product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch mechanism, so the
cutting attachment begins to rotate as soon as the engine is started
by putting the throttle trigger into the start position. When starting
the engine, place the product onto the ground in a flat clear area and
hold it firmly in place so as to ensure that neither the cutting
attachment nor the throttle trigger come into contact with any
obstacle when the engine starts.
• After starting the engine, check to make sure that the cutting
attachment stops rotating when the throttle trigger is moved fully
back to it’s original position. If it continues to rotate even after the
throttle trigger has been moved fully back, turn o the engine
