5. For safe operation
care should also be taken to constantly
look around or otherwise check for the
presence and locations of other people
working so as to maintain a distance
between each person sufficient to ensure
safety.
2. Check the condition of working area to
avoid any accident by hitting hidden
obstacles such as stumps, stones, cans, or
broken glass.
IMPORTANT
Remove any obstacle before beginning work.
3. Inspect the entire unit for loose fasteners
and fuel leakage. Make sure that the
cutting attachment is properly installed and
securely fastened.
■ STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Keep bystanders especially children, and
animals at least 15 m (50 ft) 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 might begin to rotate as soon
as the engine is started. 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.
• Never start the engine at the cutting
attachment side.
3. After starting the engine, check to make
sure that the cutting attachment 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 RedMax
servicing dealer for repair.
