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 or blade and the cutter or blade
assembly are not damaged. Damaged parts increase
the risk of injury.
Follow instructions for changing accessories. Improp-
erly tightened blade securing nuts or bolts may either
damage the blade or result in it becoming detached.
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 trou-
sers. 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.
GRASS TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
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 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.
Maintain control of the machine and do not touch
cutters, lines or blades and other hazardous moving
parts while they are still in motion. This reduces the
risk of injury from moving parts.
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 cutter, line or blade.
Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads
and blades specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement parts may increase the risk of breakage
and injury.
When clearing jammed material or servicing the
machine, make sure the switch is off and the battery
pack is removed. Unexpected starting of the machine
while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves, boots, and
gloves. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short pants,
sandals, or go barefoot. Do not wear jewelry of any kind.
Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris. Blocked air
inlets and debris may result in overheating or risk of fire.
