ARNING! 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 to consult their physician and 
the medical implant manufacturer before 
operating this machine.

ARNING! 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.
