SAFETY RULES
THESE SAFETY RULES ARE FOR YOUR PROTECTION. READ THEM CAREFULLY.
IMPORTANT
Safety standardsrequire operator presence controls to minimize the risk of injury. Your Edger/
Trimmer is equipped with such controls. Do not attempt to defeat the function of the operator
presence control under any circumstances.
Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means
ATTENTION!!! BECOME ALERT!!! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED.
BEFORE USE
• Read the owner’s manual carefully. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls and the proper use of the
Edger/Trimmer. Know how to stop the Edger/Trimmer and disengage the controls quickly.
• Do not operate the Edger/Trimmer without wearing
adequate outer garments. Wear footwear that will
improve footing on slippery surfaces.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children and pets.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the Edger/Trim-
mer is to be used and remove all foreign objects.
FUEL SAFETY
• Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
• Use an approved container.
• Check fuel supply before each use, allowing space
for expansion as the heat of the engine and/or sun
can cause fuel to expand.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill
fuel tank indoors. Replace fuel tank cap securely and
wipe up spilled fuel.
• Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel to a
running or hot engine.
• Never store fuel or Edger/Trimmer with fuel in the
tank inside a building where fumes may reach an
open flame.
OPERATING SAFETY
• Never allow children or young teenagers to
operate the Edger/Trimmer. Keep them away while
iti s operating. Never allow adults to operate the
Edger/Trimmer without proper instruction.
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during
operation or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect your eyes from foreign objects that
may be thrown from the Edger/Trimmer.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for
hidden hazards or traffic.
• Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
• Never operate the Edger/Trimmer without proper
guards, plates, or other safety protective devices in
place.
• Never operate the Edger/Trimmer at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use
care when backing.
• Never allow bystanders near the Edger/Trimmer.
• Keep children and pets away while operating.
• Never operate the Edger/Trimmer without good
visibility or light.
• Do not run the engine indoors. The exhaust fumes
are dangerous (containing CARBON MONOXIDE,
an ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS).
• Take all possible precautions when leaving the
Edger/Trimmer unattended. Stop the engine.
• Do not overload Edger/Trimmer capacity by at-
tempting to edge too deep at too fast a rate.
SAFE STORAGE
• Always refer to the Owner's Manual instructions for
important details if the Edger/Trimmer is to be
stored for an extended period.
• Never store the Edger/Trimmer with fuel in the fuel
tank inside a building where ignition sources are
present such as water and space heaters, clothes
dryers, and the like. Allow the engine to cool before
storing in any enclosure.
• Keep the Edger/Trimmer in safe working condition.
Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper
tightness.
FUEL SAFETY
• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine
(motor). Remove the wire from the spark plug, and
keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting. Thoroughly inspect the Edger/Trimmer for any damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the Edger/Trimmer.
• If the Edger/Trimmer should start to vibrate abnor-
mally, stop the engine (motor) and check immedi-
ately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning
of trouble.
• Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the
operating position. Also, disconnect the spark plug
wire before unclogging the blade and when making
any repairs, adjustments, or inspections.
• When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, shut-off
the engine (motor) and make certain all moving
parts have stopped.
• Never attempt to make any adjustments while the
engine (motor) is running (except when specifically recommended by the manufacturer).
California Proposition 65 WARNING!
The engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
