WARNING! This machine produces an

electromagnetic field during operation.
This field may under some
circumstances interfere with active or
passive medical implants. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injury, we
recommend persons with medical
implants consult their physician and the
medical implant manufacturer before
operating this machine.
WARNING! Running an engine in a

confined or badly ventilated area can
result in death due to asphyxiation or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING! Never allow children to use or
!
be in the vicinity of the machine. As the
machine is equipped with a spring-
loaded stop switch and can be started by
low speed and force on the starter
handle, even small children under some
circumstances can produce the force
necessary to start the machine. This can
mean a risk of serious personal injury.
Therefore remove the spark plug cap
when the machine is not under close
supervision.
