be placed around the perimeter
of the area. When work is to be

and locations of other people
working so as to maintain a distance
between each person sufficient to
ensure safety.

area to avoid any accident by hitting
hidden obstacles such as stumps,
stones, cans, or broken glass.

fasteners and fuel leakage. Make sure
that the cutting attachment is properly
installed and securely fastened.
4. Be sure the cutting attachment
guard is firmly attached in place.

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 15 m 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.
WARNING
Never place the throttle into
the high-speed position when
starting the engine.
3. After starting the engine, check
to make sure that the cutting at-
tachment stops rotating when the
throttle is moved fully back to its
original position. If it continues to
rotate even after the throttle has been
moved fully back, turn off the engine
and take the unit to your authorized
servicing dealer for repair.
