Screw Cap
Warning!
Unit vibrations can cause
an improperly tightened
fuel filler cap to loosen or
come off and spill quanti-
ties of fuel. In order to
reduce the risk of fuel
spillage and fire, tighten the fuel filler
cap by hand as securely as possible.
See also the "Fueling" chapter in your
Instruction Manual for additional
information.
Before Starting
Warning!
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, throttle
trigger lockout, stop switch, cutting
blade, deflector and harness. The throt-
tle trigger must move freely and always
spring back to the idle position. Never
attempt to modify the controls or safety
devices. Never use a power tool that is
damaged or not properly maintained.
Warning!
Do not attach any cutting attachment to
a unit without proper installation of all
required parts. Failure to use the proper
parts may cause the blade to fly off and
seriously injure the operator or
bystanders.
FC 90
Warning!
The cutting attachment must be prop-
erly tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent,
warped or damaged blades. Replace
damaged blades before using the power
tool.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,
grease or resin in order for you to
maintain a firm grip and properly control
your power tool.
Warning!
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
Warning!
To reduce the risk
of personal injury
to the operator
from blade con-
tact and thrown
objects, make
sure your unit is equipped with the
proper deflector, handle and harness.
An arrow on the deflector shows the
correct direction of rotation of the cutting
blade.
The arrow on the deflector must always
face away from you, so that cuttings and
other debris will be diverted away from
the machine and your position (see
chapter "Working Techniques".)
Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to
suit your size before starting work. The
machine should be properly balanced as
specified in your instruction manual for
proper control and less fatigue in
operation. To be better prepared in case
of an emergency, practise releasing the
unit from the harness as quickly as
possible.
Starting
Warning!
Start the engine at least 10 feet (3 m)
from the fueling spot, outdoors only.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your manual.
Place the power tool on firm ground or
other solid surface in an open area.
Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
