SAFETY RULES
WARNING
Rapid retraction of the starter cord will pull hand and arm towards the engine faster than you can let go. Unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.
When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
CAUTION
Improper treatment or use of the engine can damage it, shorten its life and void your warranty.
Use the engine only for intended uses. Operate only on level surfaces. DO NOT expose engine to excessive moisture, dust, or dirt. DO NOT allow any material to block the cooling slots. DO NOT use the engine if:

DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
When starting the engine:
