WARNING
Keep the deflector (and the attached
skirt where appropriate) adjusted
properly at all times (see chapters on
"Mounting the Deflector" and "Mounting
the Cutting Attachment" of your
instruction manual).
Arrows on the deflector (as seen from
the underside of the deflector) show the
correct direction of rotation of the cutting
attachment (counterclockwise). When
viewed from above, however, the cutting
attachment rotates clockwise (see arrow
embossed on top of deflector).
Adjust the hand grip and harness (if you
are wearing one) to suit your size before
starting work. The machine should be
properly balanced as specified in your
instruction manual for proper control and
less fatigue in operation. To be better
prepared in case of an emergency,
practise releasing the unit from the
harness as quickly as possible.
Starting
Start the engine at least 10 feet (3 m)
from the fueling spot, outdoors only.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your manual.
Place the power tool on firm ground or
other solid surface in an open area.
Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from blade or
line contact, be absolutely sure that the
cutting attachment is clear of you and all
other obstructions and objects, including
the ground, because when the engine
starts at starting-throttle, engine speed
will be fast enough for the clutch to
engage and move the cutting
attachment.
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should release the starting throttle
and allow the engine to slow down to
idle.
With the engine running only at idle,
attach the power tool to the spring hook
of your harness (see appropriate
chapter of this manual).
WARNING
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, do not attempt to "drop start"
your power tool.
WARNING
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not let the grip snap back, but guide
the starter rope to rewind it properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to your hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
Important Adjustments
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury
from loss of control or contact with the
running cutting attachment, do not use
your unit with incorrect idle adjustment.
At correct idle speed, the cutting
attachment should not move. For
directions on how to adjust idle speed,
see the appropriate section of your
instruction manual.
To reduce the risk
of personal injury
to the operator
from blade or line
contact and
thrown objects,
make sure your
unit is equipped
with the proper
deflector, handle
and harness for
the type of cutting
attachment being
used (see chart in
the chapter on
"Approved Combi-
nations of Cutting
Attachment,
Deflector, Handle
and Harness").
