Fold the grip flush with
the top of the cap. If the
grip does not lie com-
pletely flush with the cap
and the detent on the grip
does not fit in the corre-
sponding recess in the
filler opening, the cap is
not properly seated and
tightened and you must
repeat the above steps.
Before Starting
Warning!
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, throttle
trigger lockout, momentary stop switch,
cutting attachment, deflector and har-
ness. The throttle trigger must move
freely and always spring back to the idle
position. Never attempt to modify the
controls or safety devices.
Warning!
Never operate your power tool if it is
damaged, improperly adjusted or main-
tained, or not completely or securely
assembled.
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.

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 handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,
grease or resin in order for you to
maintain a firm grip and properly control
your power tool.
Warning!
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 personal injury
to the operator
from blade or line
contact and
thrown objects, make sure your unit is
equipped with the proper deflector, limit
stop and harness for the type of cutting
attachment being used (see chart in the
chapter on "Approved Combinations of
Cutting Attachment, Deflector, Limit
Stop and Harness").
As can be seen in that chart, some
cutting attachments may require you to
change your deflector, limit stop and / or
harness.
Keep the deflector (and the attached
skirt where appropriate) adjusted
properly at all times (see chapters on
"Mounting the Deflector" and "Mounting
the Cutting Attachment" of your
instruction manual).

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.
Some of the following symbols may be
embossed on the outside of the deflector
in order to indicate the approved
combination of cutting attachment and
deflector.
