Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-
lit. Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury.

Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant
safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust mask in
dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hard-hat, gloves, dust collection systems,
and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.

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. Exhaust gas from the engine
contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure to carbon monoxide can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death.
WARNING: Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order for the equipment to

are necessary.
DO NOT attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running. Rotating parts can cause severe
injury.
DO NOT crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on gasoline-powered engines. Fuel
trapped in the cylinder will squirt out the spark plug opening.
DO NOT test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if the engine is flooded or the smell of gasoline is
present. A stray spark could ignite the fumes.
DO NOT use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to clean parts, especially in enclosed
areas. Fumes from fuels and solvents can become explosive.
ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline engines, before servicing, to
avoid accidental start-up.
ALWAYS keep the machine clean and labels legible. Replace all missing and hard-to-read labels.
Labels provide important operating instructions and warn of dangers and hazards.
ALWAYS handle blades carefully. The blades can develop sharp edges which can cause serious cuts.
