WARNING:

Inspect the area to be

edged before each use. Remove objects

(rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, etc.) which

can be thrown by the blade or can wrap

around the shaft.
S

Blade rotates momentarily after the trigger

is released. The blade can seriously cut

you or others.

Allow blade to stop before removing it from

the cut.

Throw away blades that are bent, warped,

cracked, broken or damaged in any other

way.

Replace parts that are cracked,

chipped, or damaged before using the unit.

Do not attempt to remove cut material nor

hold material to be cut when the engine is

running or when cutting blade is moving.

Always keep the wheel and depth adjusting

skid in contact with the ground.

Always push the unit slowly over the

ground. Stay alert for uneven sidewalks,

holes in the terrain, large roots, etc.

Always use the handlebar when using

edger attachment.

BLOWER/VACUUM SAFETY

WARNING:

Inspect area before

starting unit. Remove all debris and hard ob-

jects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can

ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury

or damage during operation.
S

Do not set unit on any surface except a clean,

hard area while engine is running. Debris

such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc., could

be picked up by the air intake and thrown out

through discharge opening, damaging unit,

property, or causing serious injury to

bystanders or operator.

Never place objects inside the blower tubes,

vacuum tubes or blower outlet. Always direct

the blowing debris away from people,

animals, glass, and solid objects such as

trees, automobiles, walls, etc. The force of air

can cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be thrown or

to ricochet which can hurt people or animals,

break glass, or cause other damage.

Never run unit without the proper

equipment attached. When using your unit

as a blower, always install blower tubes.

Check air intake opening, blower tubes or

vacuum tubes frequently, always with

engine

stopped

and

spark

plug

disconnected. Keep vents and discharge

tubes free of debris which can accumulate

and restrict proper air flow.

Never place any object in air intake opening

as this could restrict proper air flow and cause

damage to the unit.

Never use for spreading chemicals, fertilizers,

or other substances which may contain toxic

materials.

To avoid spreading fire, do not use near leaf or

brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits,

ashtrays, etc.

CULTIVATOR SAFETY

WARNING:

Rotating tines can cause

serious injury. Keep away from rotating tines.

Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug

before unclogging tines or making repairs.

WARNING:

Inspect the area to be

cultivated before starting the unit. Remove all

debris and hard and sharp objects such as

rocks, vines, branches, rope, string, etc.
S

Avoid heavy contact with solid objects that

might stop the tines. If heavy contact occurs,

stop the engine and inspect the unit for

damage.

Never operate the cultivator without the tine

cover in place and properly secured.

Keep the tines and guard clear of debris.

After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,

disconnect the spark plug and inspect the

cultivator for damage. Repair before

restarting.

Disconnect attachment from the drive engine

before cleaning the tines with a hose and

water to remove any build--up. Oil the tines to

prevent rust.

Always wear gloves when servicing or

cleaning the tines. The tines become very

sharp from use.

Do not run unit at high speed unless

cultivating.
