Warning!
As soon as the engine is
running, this product gen-
erates toxic exhaust
fumes containing chemi-
cals, such as unburned
hydrocarbons (including
benzene) and carbon monoxide, that
are known to cause respiratory prob-
lems, cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Some of the gases
(e.g. carbon monoxide) may be color-
less and odorless. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury / illness from inhal-
ing toxic fumes, never run the machine
indoors or in poorly ventilated locations.
Warning!
If the vegetation being cut or the sur-
rounding ground is coated with a
chemical substance (such as an active
pesticide or herbicide), read and follow
the instructions and warnings that
accompanied the substance at issue.

Warning!
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Sub-
stantial or repeated inhalation of dust
and other airborne contaminants, in par-
ticular those with a smaller particle size,
may cause respiratory or other ill-
nesses. Control dust at the source
where possible. Use good work prac-
tices, such as operating the unit so that
the wind or operating process directs
any dust raised by the power tool away
from the operator. Follow the recom-
mendations of EPA / OSHA / NIOSH
and occupational and trade associa-
tions with respect to dust ("particulate
matter"). When the inhalation of dust
cannot be substantially controlled, i.e.,
kept at or near the ambient (back-
ground) level, the operator and any
bystanders should wear a respirator
approved by NIOSH / MSHA for the type
of dust encountered.
Operating Instructions
Warning!
Do not operate your power tool using
the starting throttle lock, as you do not
have control of the engine speed.
In the event of an emergency, shut off
the engine immediately – move the slide
control / stop switch to 0 or STOP.
Warning!
The cutting attachment
continues to rotate for a
short period after the
throttle trigger is released
(flywheel effect).
Warning!
The rotating cutting attachment may
fling foreign objects directly or by rico-
chet a great distance.
15m (50ft)
To reduce the risk of eye and other injury
always wear proper eye protection (see
the chapter on "Proper Clothing") and
ensure that bystanders are at least
50 feet (15 m) away. To reduce the risk
of damage to property, also maintain this
distance from such objects as vehicles
or windows. Any coworkers who must be
in the restricted area should also wear
goggles or protective glasses. Stop the
engine immediately if you are
approached.
Warning!
Before you start work,
examine the area for
stones, glass, fence wire,
metal, trash or other solid
objects. The cutting
attachment could throw
objects of this kind.
