SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations
through prolonged use of gasoline powered
hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve
damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of
people prone to circulation disorders or abnormal swellings. Prolonged use in cold weather
has been linked to blood vessel damage in
otherwise healthy people. If symptoms occur
such as numbness, pain, loss of strength,
change in skin color or texture, or loss of feeling
in the fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the
use of this tool and seek medical attention. An
anti- -vibration system does not guarantee the
avoidance of these problems. Users who operate power tools on a continual and regular basis
must monitor closely their physical condition
and the condition of this tool.
SPECIAL NOTICE: This unit is equipped
with a temperature limiting muffler and spark arresting screen which meets the requirements of
California Codes 4442 and 4443. All U.S. forest
land and the states of California, Idaho, Maine,
Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington require by law that many internal combustion engines be equipped with a spark arresting
screen. If you operate in a locale where such
regulations exist, you are legally responsible for
maintaining the operating condition of these
parts. Failure to do so is a violation of the law.
For normal homeowner use, the muffler and
spark arresting screen will not require any service. After 50 hours of use, we recommend that
your muffler be serviced or replaced by your authorized service dealer.
LINE TRIMMER SAFETY
WARNING: Inspect the area before
each use. Remove objects (rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, etc.) which can be thrown
by or become entangled in line. Hard objects
can damage the trimmer head and be thrown
causing serious injury.
S Keep others including children, animals,
bystanders, and helpers at least 50 feet (15
meters) away. Bystanders should be
encouraged to wear safety glasses. Stop
engine immediately if you are approached.
S Use only for trimming, scalping, mowing
and sweeping. Do not use for edging,
pruning or hedge trimming.
S Cut from your left to your right. Cutting on
right side of the shield will throw debris
away from the operator.
