LAWN TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This de-
creases the risk of being struck by lightning.
Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the
machine is to be used. Wildlife may be injured by the
machine during operation.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to
be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones,
and other foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause
personal injury.
Before using the machine, always visually inspect to
see that the cutter and the cutter assembly are not
damaged. Damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working
order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose,
damaged, or is not functioning correctly may result in
personal injury.
Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris. Blocked air
inlets and debris may result in overheating or risk of fire.
Wear eye protection and ear protection. Adequate
protective equipment will reduce personal injury.
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.
Always wear clothing such as trousers that covers the
operator’s legs while operating the machine. Contact
with the moving cutter or line may cause injury.
Keep bystanders away while operating the machine.
Thrown debris can result in serious personal injury.
Do not operate the machine above waist height. This
helps prevent unintended cutter contact and enables
better control of the machine in unexpected situations.
Exercise caution when operating the machine in wet
grass. Walk, never run. This reduces the risk of slipping
and falling which may result in personal injury.
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 foot-
ing, 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 power cords and cables away from cutting
area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges
or bushes and can be accidentally cut or damaged by
the line or cutter.
Keep all parts of the body away from the moving
trimmer cutter or line. Do not clear material from
the machine until it has been disconnected from the
power source. The moving trimmer cutter or line may
result in serious personal injury.
Carry the machine with the machine switched off and
away from your body. Proper handling of the machine
will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with a
moving trimmer cutter or line.
Only use replacement cutting heads and trimmer
cutters or lines specified by the manufacturer. Do not
replace the trimmer cutters or lines with metal wires
or blades. Incorrect replacement parts may cause loss
of control, breakage and injury.
Inspect the machine for damage after striking a hard
object or if there appears to be excessive vibration.
