SAFETYGLASSES
The operation of any trimmer can result in foreign objects thrown into
the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety
glasses or eye shields while operating your trimmer or performing any
adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over
spectacles or standard safety glasses.
L GENERAL OPERATmON
* Read, understand, and follow all instruc-
tions on the machine and in the manual
before starting. Be thoroughly familiar
with the controls and the proper use of
the machine before starting.
Do not put hands or feet near or under
rotating parts.
Keep all parts of your body away from
muffler and spinning line. A hot muffler
can cause serious burns.
, Only allow responsible individuals, who
are familiar with the instructions, to oper-
ate the machine.
, Stay away from breakable objects, such
as house windows, auto glass, green-
houses, etc.
, Clear the area of objects such as rocks,
toys, wire, bones, sticks, etc., which
could be picked up and thrown by the
spinning lines.
, Be sure the area is clear of other people
before trimming, particularly small chil-
dren and pets. Stop machine if anyone
enters the area.
, Wear appropriate clothing such as a
long-sleeved shirt or jacket. Also wear
long trousers or slacks. Do not wear
shorts.
, Do not wear loose clothing which could
get caught in this equipment.
, Do not operate the machine when bare-
foot or wearing open sandals. Always
wear work gloves and sturdy footwear.
Leather work shoes or short boots work
well for most people. These will protect
the operator's ankles and shins from
small sticks, splinters, and other debris,
and improve traction.
, Do not pull machine backwards unless
absolutely necessary. Always look down
and behind before and while moving
backwards.
Do not operate the machine without
proper guards, plates or other safety
protective devices in place.
See manufacturer's instructions for
proper operation and installation of
accessories. Only use accessories ap-
proved by the manufacturer.
Never use blades, wire, or flailing de-
vices. This unit is designed for line trim-
mer use only. Use of other accessories
or attachments will increase the risk of
injury.
Stop the rotating trimmer head when
crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.
Wait for the cutting lines to stop rotating.
Stop the engine (motor) whenever you
leave the equipment and allow it to cool,
before cleaning, repairing or inspecting
the unit. Be sure the trimmer head and
all moving parts have stopped.
Operate only in daylight or good artificial
light.
Do not operate the machine while under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Never operate machine in wet grass.
Always be sure of your footing: keep a
firm hold on the handle and walk; never
run.
,, If the equipment should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and
check immediately for the cause. Vibra-
tion is generally a warning of trouble.
