I.  PREPARATION 

A.  Safety Precautions 

Important! The following safety precautions must always be observed. 

Hazard Symbols

Fuel (gasoline) is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode 
if ignited.  Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well-
ventilated, unoccupied approved areas, and away from sparks or 
flames.  Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running.  
Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.  Never use the  

fuel as a cleaning agent 

Engine components can get extremely hot from operation.  To 
prevent burns, do not touch the engine or related parts while the 
engine is running or immediately after it is turned off.  Never 
operate the engine with any heat shields or guards removed. 
 

Keep all guards in place when operating any piece of equipment 
 
 
 
 

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all rotating parts 
 
 
 
 
 
Lethal Exhaust Gas use only in well ventilated areas.  Engine 
exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is 
orderless, colorless, and can cause death if inhaled.  Avoid 
inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run the engine in a closed 
building or confined area 

Never tamper with the governor components of settings to 
increase the maximum speed.  Severe personal injury and damage 
to the engine or equipment can result if operated at speed above 
maximum.  Always obey the maximum speed rating of blade.
