State and Local Requirements

Your brush cutter is equipped with a temperature limiting muffler, a spark arresting screen in order to
comply with the requirements of SAE Recommended Practice J335 and California Codes 4442 and 4443.
All national forest land and land managed by the states of California, Maine, Washington, Idaho,
Minnesota, New Jersey and Oregon require internal combustion engines to be equipped with a
spark arrester screen by law. Other states and federal agencies are enacting similar regulations.
If you operate a brush cutter in a state or locale where such regulations exist, you are legally responsible
for maintaining the operating condition of these parts. Failure to do so is a violation of a law. Spark
arrester maintenance is described in the Maintenance-Spark Arresting Muffler Section of the
manual.
Note: When using a brush cutter for logging purposes, refer to Code of Federal Regulations, Parts
1910 and 1928.
WARNING: The ignition system of your unit produces an electromagnetic field of a very low
intensity. This field may interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury, persons with pacemaker should consult their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer before operating this tool.
WARNING: Muffler surfaces are very hot during and after operation of the brush cutter, keep
all body parts away from the muffler. Serious burns may occur if contact is made with the
muffler.
