■ BLADE
• In order to carry out cutting
work safely, be sure to check
the blade before you begin and
after you finish your work. If you
continue to use a blade which
has become loosened, chipped,
cracked, broken, or bent, such a
blade might disintegrate and
broken pieces might hit you or
adjacent workers, causing a
serious injury.
• Be sure to stop the engine
before checking the blade. If
you check the blade with the
engine still in operation, the
blade might begin to rotate
because of overturning of the
machine, etc.
•When checking the blade, be
sure to stop the engine and
wear gloves. Handling the blade
with bare hands might cause an
injury.
Do not use a blade which has worn
away and has become round. Such a
blade does not cut well, and grass
and twigs easily wind themselves
around it, thus increasing the load on
your arm during cutting and affecting
the fuel consumption and life-span of
the machine.
Be sure to check the blade before or
after using the machine. If anything is
wrong with the blade, replace it with
a new one, or sharpen it again.
