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

clutch mechanism, so the cutting
attachment begins to move 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.
• Never place the throttle into the high-
speed position when starting the
engine.
• Never start the engine at the cutting
attachment side.
3. After starting the engine, check to make
sure that the cutting attachment stops
moving when the throttle is moved fully
back to its original position. If it continues
to move even after the throttle has been
moved fully back, turn off the engine and
take the unit to your authorized RedMax
servicing dealer for repair.
