Always stop engine when edging or trimming is delayed or when
transporting machine from one location to another.
Never leave a running machine unattended. Stop the engine, disconnect
spark plug wire and ground against the engine to prevent unintended
starting.
Only use parts and accessories made for this machine by the manufacturer.
Failure to do so, can result in personal injury.
If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good
judgment.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to power equipment such as lawn edgers. They do not
understand the dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw
them.
Keep children out of the edging area and under watchful care of a
responsible adult other than the operator.
Be alert and turn lawn edger off if a child enters the area.
Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small
children.
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees,
or other objects that may obscure your vision of a child who may run into the
lawn edger.
Keep children away from hot or running engines. They can suffer burns from
a hot muffler.
Never allow children under 14 years of age to operate this machine. Children
14 and over should read and understand the instructions and safe operation
practices in this manual and on the machine and be trained and supervised
by an adult.
SERVICE

Safe Handling of Gasoline:

To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care in handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.
Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself or your
clothes which can ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
Use only an approved gasoline container.
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic
liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on
the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer
with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening
at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources
of ignition.
Never fuel machine indoors because flammable vapors will accumulate in
the area.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Never remove gas cap or add fuel while engine is hot or running. Allow
engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
Never over-fill fuel tank. To allow for expansion of the fuel, do not fill above
the bottom of the fuel tank neck.
Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move machine to
another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting engine.
Never store the machine or fuel container near an open flame, spark or pilot
light as on a water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliances.
To reduce fire hazard, keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris
build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel-soaked debris.
Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the blade and all
moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground
against the engine to prevent unintended starting.
Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness. Also, visually inspect blade for damage (e.g., bent, cracked,
worn) Replace blade with the original equipment manufacture's (O.E.M.)
blade only, listed in this manual. "Use of parts which do not meet the
original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and
compromise safety!"
Lawn edger blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade or wear gloves,
and use extra caution when servicing them.
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug
wire and ground against the engine. Thoroughly inspect the lawn edger for
any damage. Repair the damage before starting and operating the lawn
edger.
Never attempt to make a wheel adjustment while the engine is running.
Many components on your new edger can wear with continued use. For
safety protection, frequently check all edger components and replace
immediately with original equipment manufacturer's (O.E.M.) parts
only, listed in this manual. "Use of parts which do not meet the original
equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and
compromise safety!"
Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed the engine. The
governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for used gas, oil, etc.. Improper
disposal of fluids and materials can harm the environment.
