foreign objects for a great distance. To
reduce the risk of eye and other injury
insure that bystanders are at least
50 feet (15 m) away. Bystanders should
be encouraged to wear eye protection.
Stop the engine and cutting tool
immediately if you are approached.
Operate your trimmer without
assistance.

Working Conditions
!
Warning!
Never attempt to use an electric trimmer
in locations where there is a potential for
explosive or flammable atmospheres.
Operate the electric trimmer under good
visibility and daylight conditions only.
Work carefully.
Do not cut any material other than
weed or similar soft vegetation.
The cutting tools may be used only
for the operations described in your
manual.
Always hold the trimmer firmly with both
hands. Wrap your fingers tightly around
the handles, keeping the handles
cradled between your thumb and fore-
finger. Keep your hands in this position
to have your trimmer under control at all
times. Make sure that your trimmer
handles and grip are in good condition
and that they and your hands are clean
and free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
!
Warning!
Never attempt to operate any trimmer
with one hand. Loss of control of the
trimmer resulting in serious or fatal injury
may result.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk
of injury from
thrown objects and
blade contact,
never operate a
trimmer without a properly mounted
deflector. Keep the deflector (and the
skirt where appropriate) adjusted
properly at all times (see chapter on
mounting the cutting tool of your owner's
manual).
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Special care
must be taken in slippery conditions and
in difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots and ditches to avoid stumbling. Be
extremely cautious when working on
slopes or uneven ground.
