INSPECT
YOUR
MACHINE
Check your machine before starting it.
Keep
guards in place
and
in
working
order. Make sure all nuts, bolts, etc., are securely
tightened.
Never operate the machine when
it
is
in need
of
repair
or
is
in
poor mechanical condition. Replace damaged, missing,
or
failed
parts before using it. Check
for
fuel leaks. Keep
the

Do not
use

if
the engine's switch does
not
turn

Any
gasoline powered machine
that

be
controlled
with
the engine switch
is
dangerous
and
must
be
replaced.
Regularly check
to
see
that
keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the machine area before starting it. A wrench
or
a key
that
is
left
attached
to
a rotating part
of
the machine may
result in personal injury.
Avoid accidental starting.
Be
sure the engine's switch
is
off
before

or
service on the unit. Transporting
or

service on a machine
with
its switch
on
invites accidents.
If
the
machine should
start
to
vibrate
abnormally,
stop
the
engine (motor)

generally a warning sign
of
