SYMBOL MEANING
• SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
Indicates danger, warning or caution. May be used in

• WARNING - READ OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Read the operator’s manual(s) and follow all warnings and

WARNING: Do not operate without the cutting attachment

WARNING: Never use blades or flailing devices. This unit is
designed for line trimmer use only. Use of any other

SAFETY RULES
• Do not allow a person to use this unit unless instructions are read and understood. Never
allow children to operate or play with the unit.
• Do not operate this unit when tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
• Always wear heavy, long pants, boots, gloves, and a long sleeve shirt. Do not wear loose
clothing, jewelry, short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. Secure hair so it is above
shoulder level.
• Inspect unit before each use. 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. Never use, for example, wire or wire-rope which can
break off and become a dangerous projectile.
• Keep firm footing and balance. Do not over-reach. Keep cutting attachment below waist
level. Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating cutting attachment and hot
surfaces.
• Never start or run the unit inside a closed room or building; breathing exhaust fumes can kill.
• 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. Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move
at least 10 ft. (3 m) away from the fueling source and site before starting engine.
• Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass,
nails, wire, or string which 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; outside the 50 ft. zone, there is still a risk of injury
to bystanders from being struck with the moving strings in the event of a cutting lines
thrust or other unexpected reaction of the saw.
• The cutting attachment may be spinning during carburetor adjustments. Wear your
protective equipment and observe all safety instructions. When the unit is turned off make
sure the cutting attachment has stopped before the unit is set down.
