• Before starting the engine make sure the attachment is not in contact with anything and have a clear work area and secure footing.

• The machine should not be exposed to high temperatures or damp and wet conditions.

• Clean the machine after each use and, if storing for a prolonged period, drain down the fuel in the tank. Remove the spark plug and put a few drops of oil into the cylinder before pulling the starter a 2-3 times to distribute the oil evenly. Replace the spark plug.

• Regularly check that screws, bolts and nuts are correctly fitted.

• Remove tools from the machine before starting, to prevent them being thrown by the machine which may cause injuries to the user or bystanders.

• Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for the task. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• Do not use this machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired or replaced before use.

• Where possible make use of a shoulder harness when using the machine. Adjust the harness to a comfortable operating position before using the machine. Maintain a firm grip on both handles during use. Keep your body clear of the cutting area of the machine.
