If necessary yellow warning rope, warning signs should be placed around the perimeter of the area. When work is to be performed simultaneously by two or more persons, care should also 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 sufficient to ensure safety.

2. Check the condition of working area to avoid any accident by hitting hidden obstacles such as stumps, stones, cans, or broken grass.

Remove any obstacle before beginning work.

3. Inspect the entire unit for loose fasteners and fuel leakage. Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly installed and securely fastened.

4. Be sure the debris guard is firmly attached in place.

5. Always use the shoulder strap. Adjust the strap for comfort before starting the engine. The strap should be adjusted so the left hand can comfortably hold the handlebar grip approximately waist high.

■ STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Keep bystanders and animals at least 50feet (15m) away from the operating point. If you are approached, immediately stop the engine.

2. 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 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 part nor the throttle come into contact with any obstacle when the engine starts.
