OPERATOR SAFETY
Always wear safety glasses or similar eye protection when operating, or performing maintenance on

Use appropriate hearing protection.
Always wear long pants from a sturdy fabric, long sleeves, boots and gloves. Wearing safety leg
guards is recommended. Dress appropriate to the terrain that you will be clearing.
Being fully covered will also help to protect you from debris and/or pieces of toxic plants thrown by
the spinning line/blade. A face or dust mask if recommended of the operation in dry conditions.
It is recommended to wear foot protection with a reinforced toe.
Never attempt to use this product while barefoot or in sandals.
Secure longer hair to above the shoulders. Secure or remove loosely hanging clothing, jewelry, ties,
straps, tassels, etc. They can become entangled and caught within the moving parts.
Do not operate unit when you are tired, sick, upset or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or
medication. Watch what you are doing; use common sense. Stay alert.
Never start or run the engine inside a room or building. Even with windows open, breathing CO
exhaust fumes can quickly disorient and/or subsequently become lethal.
Keep handles free of oil and fuel.
Always use the handlebar and a properly adjusted shoulder strap with a blade (see ASSEMBLY).
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
Using any internal combustion engine indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell
the engine exhaust, you are breathing carbon monoxide (CO). Even if you don’t smell exhaust, you could
still be breathing CO.
NEVER use an engine inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels
of carbon monoxide can build up quickly in these areas. Using a fan, or opening windows and/or doors
will NOT properly vent CO or supply adequate fresh air. ONLY run an engine outside and far away from
all windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in engine exhaust.
