hazard using an engine indoors can Kill You in minuteS.

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.

NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open.

Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.

Keep children away from the equip-2. ment, especially while it is operating.

Do not leave the equipment unat-3. tended when it is running. Turn off the equipment (and remove safety keys, if available) before leaving the work area.

Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses, 4. hearing protection, and NIOSH-ap-proved dust mask/respirator under a full face shield during use.

Wear heavy-duty work gloves when 5. handling the blade.

People with pacemakers should 6. consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. Caution is neces-sary when near the engine’s magneto or recoil starter.

Use only accessories that are recom-7. mended by Harbor Freight Tools for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one piece of equipment may become hazardous when used on another piece of equipment.

Do not operate in explosive atmo-8. spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Gasoline-powered engines may ignite the dust or fumes.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing 9. and use common sense when operat-ing this piece of equipment. Do not use this piece of equipment while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-10. ing and balance at all times. This en-ables better control of the equipment in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose 11. clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, cloth-ing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Parts, especially exhaust system 12. components, get very hot during use. Stay clear of hot parts.

Do not cover the engine or equipment 13. during operation.

Keep the equipment, engine, and sur-14. rounding area clean at all times.

Use the equipment, accessories, etc., 15. in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of equipment, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the equipment for operations differ-ent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Do not operate the equipment with 16. known leaks in the engine’s fuel sys-tem.

WARNING: The brass components 17. of this product contain lead, a chemi-cal known to the State of California to cause birth defects (or other repro-ductive harm). (California Health & Safety code § 25249.5, et seq.)

WARNING: Some dust created by 18. power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-ing, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • Lead from lead-based paints • Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products

• Arsenic and chromium from chemi-cally treated lumber Your risk from these exposures var-ies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

Service precautionSbefore service, maintenance, or 1. cleaning:turn the engine switch to its a. “oFF” position.allow the engine to completely b. cool.then, remove the spark plug c. wire(s) from the spark plug(s).

Keep all safety guards in place and in 2. proper working order. Safety guards include muffler, air cleaner, mechani-cal guards, and heat shields, among other guards.

do not alter or adjust any part of 3. the equipment or its engine that is sealed by the manufacturer or dis-tributor. Only a qualified service technician may adjust parts that may increase or decrease gov-erned engine speed.

Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, 4. heavy-duty work gloves, and dust mask/respirator during service.

Maintain labels and nameplates on 5. the equipment. These carry impor-tant information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

Have the equipment serviced by a 6. qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the equip-ment is maintained.

We shall in no event be liable for death, injuries to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special or consequential damages arising from the use of our product.
