Machine use and care
Never pick up or carry a machine while the
engine is running.
Do not force the machine. Use the correct
machine for your application. The correct
machine will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not change the engine governor settings
or over-speed the engine. The governor controls
the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
Do not run the engine at a high speed when
you are not pounding.
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts.
Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes
and hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or
muffler. These parts get extremely hot from

adjustments.
If the machine should start to make an unusual GB
noise or vibration, immediately shut off the
engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and
check for the cause. Unusual noise or vibration

Maintain the machine. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the

are caused by poorly maintained equipment.
Keep the engine and muffler free of grass,
leaves, excessive grease or carbon build up to
reduce the chance of a fire hazard.
