GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions may result in serious personal
injury as well as damage to the product.
■ Physical Condition of the Operator. Do not operate
this product when tired, ill or under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or medication.
■ Clothing Requirements. Always wear long heavy
pants, boots and gloves. Do not wear loose clothing,
jewelry, short pants, sandals or go barefoot. Secure
hair so that it is above shoulder level to avoid
entanglement in moving parts.
■ Protective Accessories Requirements. Wear eye
and hearing protection when operating this product.
Before use, inspect the condition of the trimmer.
Replace damaged parts. Check for fuel leaks.
Make sure all fasteners are in place and secure.
Replace cutting attachment parts that are cracked,
chipped or damaged in any way. Make sure the
cutting attachment is properly installed and securely
fastened. Be sure the cutting attachment shield is
properly attached and in the position recommended
by the manufacturer. Use only flexible, non-metallic
line recommended by the manufacturer. For example,
never use wire or wirerope, which can break off and
become a dangerous projectile.
■ Proper Stance. Keep firm footing and balance. Do
not overreach. Keep the cutting attachment below
waist level. Keep all parts of your body away from the
rotating cutting attachment and hot surfaces.
■ Exhaust Gases. Never start or run the product inside
a closed room or building; breathing exhaust fumes
can cause illness or death.
■ Fueling. Mix and pour fuel outdoors where there are
no sparks and flames. Slowly remove the fuel cap only
after stopping the engine. Do not smoke while fueling
or mixing fuel. Wipe spilled fuel from the product.
Move at least 30ft. (9m) away from the fueling source
and site before starting the engine.
■ Work Area. Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Remove all objects, such as rocks, broken glass,
nails, wire or string, that can be thrown or become
entangled in the cutting attachment. Clear the area
of children, bystanders and pets. At a minimum,
keep all children, bystanders and pets outside a 50
ft. (15 m) radius. Because there still may be a risk of
injury to bystanders from thrown objects, bystanders
should be encouraged to wear eye protection. If you
are approached while operating the product, stop the
engine and the cutting attachment.
■ Dangerous Environments. To avoid falling, do not
use the product in damp or wet locations.
■ Controlling the Product. During choke adjustments
the cutting attachment may spin. Therefore, you should
wear protective equipment and observe all safety
instructions when adjusting the choke. For products
equipped with a clutch, be sure the cutting attachment
stops turning when the engine idles. When the product
is turned off, make sure the cutting attachment has
stopped before setting down the product.
■ Use the Right Product. Use the product for the
intended purpose only.
