Before Starting
Warning!
Warning!

B
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.
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, throttle
trigger interlock, momentary stop
switch, cutting attachment, deflector
and harness. The throttle trigger must
move freely and always spring back to
the idle position. Never attempt to mod-
ify the controls or safety devices. Never
use a power tool that is damaged or not
properly maintained.
Warning!
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, han-
dle 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")
Warning!
Do not attach any cutting attachment to
a unit without proper installation of all
required parts. Failure to use the proper
parts may cause the blade or head to fly
off and seriously injure the operator or
bystanders.
Arrows on the deflector (A) and limit stop
(B) (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.
As can be seen in that chart, some
cutting attachments may require you to
change your deflector, handle and/or
harness.
Adjust carrying harness and hand grip 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. To be better prepared in case
of an emergency, practice releasing the
unit from the harness as quickly as
possible.
Warning!
The cutting attachment must be prop-
erly tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.) and for cracked or dam-
aged heads or cracked, bent, warped or
damaged blades. Replace damaged
heads or blades before using the power
tool. Always keep blades sharp.
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).
Starting
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.
Warning!
Start the engine at least 10 feet
(3
meters) from the fueling spot, out-
doors only.
