GENERAL SAFETY

DANGER

Blade Hazard

Metal blades are extremely sharp, and have

powerful cutting action. Contact with moving

blades or cutting attachments will cause

serious injury. Keep hands, feet, and all other

body parts away from moving blades and

cutting attachments at all times. Wear work

gloves, safety glasses, hearing protection, and

protective clothing.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a

poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness,

serious injury, or death. Start and operate outdoors only.

Spark Hazard

All equipment features spark-arresting mufers as standard equipment. Spark

arrestors prevent hot, glowing particles of carbon from being discharged from

the mufer. Operation with a damaged, loose, or missing spark arrestor can

result in re.

Hot Exhaust/Burn Hazard

The exhaust produced by gasoline-powered equipment

is hot, and can cause burns or ignite nearby ammable

materials. Never blow engine exhaust against your

body or toward ammable materials. The mufer and

surrounding area become extremely hot during use, and

can cause serious burns if touched.

Finger Sever Hazard

Moving parts can amputate ngers or cause severe

injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away

from all openings. Always stop engine, disconnect

spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come

to a complete stop before removing obstructions,

clearing debris, or servicing unit.
