Adjust the hand grip and harness (if you
are wearing one) to suit your size before
starting work. The machine should be
properly balanced as specified in your
instruction manual for proper control and
less fatigue in operation.

Warning!
! Warning!
The cutting attachment must be properly
tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.). Replace damaged heads
before using the power tool.
To reduce the risk
of personal injury
to the operator
from blade or line
contact and
thrown objects, make sure your unit is
equipped with the proper deflector,
handle and harness for the type of
cutting attachment being used (see
chart in the chapter on "Approved
Combinations of Cutting Attachment,
Deflector, Handle and Harness").
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, grease
or resin in order for you to maintain a firm
grip and properly control your power
tool.
Starting
Start the engine at least 10 feet
(3 meters) from the fueling spot,
outdoors only.
Start and operate your power tool
without assistance. For specific starting
instructions, see the appropriate section
of your manual. Place the power tool on
firm ground or other solid surface in an
open area. Maintain good balance and
secure footing.
!
Warning!
Keep the deflector (and the attached
skirt where appropriate) adjusted
properly at all times (see chapters on
"Mounting the Deflector" and "Mounting
the Cutting Attachments" of your
instruction manual).
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from blade or
line contact, be absolutely sure that the
cutting attachment is clear of you and all
other obstructions and objects, including
the ground, because when the engine
starts at starting-throttle, engine speed
will be fast enough for the clutch to
engage and move the cutting
attachment.
Arrows on the deflector (as seen from
the underside) show the correct
direction of rotation of the cutting
attachment. When viewed from above,
however, the cutting attachment rotates
counterclockwise.
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should release the starting throttle
and allow the engine to slow down to
idle.
