Operating Engine
• Operate equipment with guards in place.
• Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling
drawstrings or items that could become caught.
Running engines produce heat.
Engine parts, especially muffler,
become extremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur
on contact.
Combustible debris, such as
leaves, grass, brush, etc. can
catch fire.
WARNING
• Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool
before touching.
• Remove accumulated combustibles from
muffler area and cylinder area.
• Install and maintain in working order a spark
arrester before using equipment on
forest-covered, grass-covered, brush-covered
unimproved land. The state of California
requires this (Section 4442 of the California
Public Resources Code). Other states may
have similar laws. Federal laws apply on
federal land.
Rotating parts can contact or
entangle hands, feet, hair,
clothing, or accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe
laceration can result.
Rapid retraction of starter cord
(kickback) will pull hand and arm
toward engine faster than you can let
go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises
or sprains could result.
