counter-clockwise to reduce the idle RPM, or contact
a Servicing Dealer for adjustment and discontinue
use until the repair is made.
Serious personal injury may result from the cutting
attachment turning at idle.

speed and increase the risk of personal injury from loss of control
and from contact with the cutting tool.
