English / USA Screw cap !Warning! Unit vibrations can cause an improperly tightened fuel filler cap to loosen or come off and spill quantities of fuel. In order to reduce the risk of fuel spillage and fire, tighten the fuel filler cap by hand as securely as possible. Before Starting !Warning! Always check your power tool for proper condition and operation before starting, particularly the throttle trigger, throttle trigger interlock, stop switch, cutting attachment, deflector and harness. The throttle 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 or head to fly off and seriously injure the operator or bystanders. !Warning! The cutting attachment must be properly tightened and in safe operating condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts, screws, etc.) and for cracked or damaged heads or cracked, bent, warped or damaged blades. Replace damaged heads or blades before using the power tool. Always keep blades sharp. Keep the handles clean and dry at all times; it is particularly important to keep them free of moisture, pitch, oil, 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 or line contact and thrown objects, make sure your unit is equipped with the proper deflector, handle and harness for the type of cutting attachment being used (see chart in the chapter on "Approved Combinations of Cutting Attachment, Deflector, Handle and Harness"). As can be seen in that chart, some cutting attachments may require you to change your deflector, handle and/or harness. Keep the deflector (and the attached skirt where appropriate) adjusted properly at all times (see chapters on "Mounting the Deflector" and "Mounting the Cutting Attachments" of your instruction manual). 8 FS 120, FS 120 R, FS 200, FS 200 R, FS 250, FS 250 R

an improperly tightened
fuel filler cap to loosen or
come off and spill
quantities of fuel. In order
to reduce the risk of fuel
spillage and fire, tighten the fuel filler cap
by hand as securely as possible.
Before Starting
!
Warning!
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, throttle
trigger interlock, stop switch, cutting
attachment, deflector and harness. The
throttle 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 or head to fly
off and seriously injure the operator or
bystanders.
!
Warning!
The cutting attachment must be properly
tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.) and for cracked or
damaged heads or cracked, bent,
warped or damaged blades. Replace
damaged heads or blades before using
the power tool. Always keep blades
sharp.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, 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 or line
contact and
thrown objects, make sure your unit is
equipped with the proper deflector,
handle and harness for the type of
cutting attachment being used (see
chart in the chapter on "Approved
Combinations of Cutting Attachment,
Deflector, Handle and Harness").
As can be seen in that chart, some
cutting attachments may require you to
change your deflector, handle and/or
harness.
Keep the deflector (and the attached
skirt where appropriate) adjusted
properly at all times (see chapters on
"Mounting the Deflector" and "Mounting
the Cutting Attachments" of your
instruction manual).
