Safe service
practices
 Do not crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on gasoline-
powered engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out the spark plug
opening.
 Do not test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if the engine is flooded or the
smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite the fumes.
 Disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline engines, before
servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.
 Do not remove blades while the machine is hanging overhead.
 Support the machine securely before changing blades.
 Handle blades carefully. The blades can develop sharp edges which can cause
serious cuts.
