The owner/operator of this product is
responsible for properly maintaining the

governmental entities/agencies, such as

similar requirements. Contact your local
fire agency or forest service for the laws
or regulations relating to fire protection
requirements.
WARNING
Never repair damaged cutting attach-
ments by welding, straightening or
modifying the shape. This may cause
parts of the cutting blades to come off
and result in serious or fatal injuries.
Keep the cutting blades sharp. Tighten
all nuts, bolts and screws, except the
carburetor adjustment screws, after
each use.
Do not clean your machine with a
pressure washer. The solid jet of water
may damage parts of the machine.

locked location out of reach of children.
Before storing for longer than a few
days, always empty the fuel tank. See
chapter "Storing the machine" in this
