Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury
from loss of control, be
absolutely sure that the
working tool 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 working tool.
!
Warning!
When you pull the starter grip, don't
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not allow the grip to snap back, but
guide the starter rope to rewind it
properly. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in injury to hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.

Holding and Controlling the
Power Tool
Always hold the power tool firmly with
both hands - as shown. Wrap your
fingers tightly around the handles,
keeping the handles cradled between
your thumb and forefinger. Keep your
hands in this position to have your power
tool under control at all times. Make sure
the handles and grips are in good
condition and free of moisture, pitch, oil
or grease.
Muffler
!
Warning!
Do not operate your power tool if the
muffler is damaged, missing or modified.
Such a muffler could cause an increase
in heat radiation or sparks, thereby
increasing the risk of fire or burn injury.
You may also damage the engine
permanently.
!
Warning!
The muffler and other parts of the engine
(e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)
become hot during operation and remain
hot for a while after stopping the engine.
To reduce risk of burns do not touch the
muffler and other parts while they are
hot.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury,
keep the area around the muffler clean.
Remove all debris such as pine needles,
branches or leaves when the engine is
shut off and has cooled.
