STRING TRIMMER ATTACHMENT — STA1600/STA1600-FC 11
◾
Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate protective equipment will
reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the cutting line
or blade.
◾
While operating the machine, always wear non-slip and protective footwear.
Do not operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals. This
reduces the chance of injury to the feet from contact with the moving cutters or
lines
◾
While operating the machine, always wear long trousers. Exposed skin
increases the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
◾
Keep bystanders away while operating the machine. Thrown debris can result
in serious personal injury.
◾
Always use two hands when operating the machine. Holding the machine
with both hands will avoid loss of control.
◾
Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces only, because the
cutting line or blade may contact hidden wiring. Cutting line or blades
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the machine “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
◾
Always keep proper footing and operate the machine only when standing on
the ground. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control
of the machine.
◾
Do not operate the machine on excessively steep slopes. This reduces the
risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.
◾
When working on slopes, always be sure of your footing, always work
across the face of slopes, never up or down and exercise extreme caution
when changing direction. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and
falling which may result in personal injury.
◾
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line or blade when the
machine is operating. Before you start the machine, make sure the cutter,
line or blade is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while
operating the machine may result in injury to yourself or others.
◾
Do not operate the machine above waist height. This helps prevent unintended
cutter or blade contact and enables better control of the machine in unexpected
situations.
◾
When cutting brush or saplings that are under tension, be alert for spring
back. When the tension in the wood fibers is released, the brush or sapling may
strike the operator and/or throw the machine out of control.
