1) Become familiar with the Owners Manual before
attempting to operate this equipment.
2) Do not allow children to operate this equipment. Do
not operate this equipment in the vicinity of
bystanders.
3) Carbon Monoxide can be extremely dangerous in
enclosed areas: do not run the machine in an
enclosed area since the exhaust from the engine
contains carbon monoxide.
4) Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or
clothing inside the feeding chamber, discharge chute,
or near any moving part.
5) Before inspecting or servicing any part of the machine,
shut off power source, disconnect the spark plug wire
from the spark plug and make sure all moving parts
have come to a complete stop.
6) Do not transport this machine while the engine is
running.
7) Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing.
8) Operate the machine only on a level surface. Keep
proper balance and footing at all times. Do not
operate machine on a paved or gravel surface.
9) Before starting the machine, check that all screws,
nuts, bolts and other fasteners are properly secured;
make certain that the cutting chamber is empty. Do

3) Check for and tighten any loose parts.
13) Keep the engine clean of debris and other
accumulations. Do not tamper with engine governor
