could lose your footing or balance.

the slope gauge.

Do not trim on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause
slipping.

CHILDREN SAFETY

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the string
trimmer and the trimming activity. They do not understand the
dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you last
saw them.
□
Keep children out of the trimming area and under watchful
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
□
Be alert and turn string trimmer off if a child enters the
area.
□
Before and while moving backwards, look behind and
down for small children.
□
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,
doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure
your vision of a child who may run into the string trimmer.
□
Keep children away from hot or running engines. They can
suffer burns from a hot muffler.
□
Never allow children to operate this machine.
SAFETY WHILE SERVICING
Safe Handling Of Gasoline:
□
To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme
care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable
and the vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can
occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes,
which can ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes
immediately.
□
Use only an approved gasoline container.
□
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer
bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before filling.
□
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
□
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do
not use a nozzle lock-open device.
□
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources
of ignition.
□
Never fuel machine indoors because flammable vapors will
accumulate in the area.
□
Never remove gas cap or add fuel while engine is hot or
running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before
refueling.
□
Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 1 inch
below bottom of filler neck to provide for fuel expansion.
□
Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
□
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment.
Move machine to another area. Wait 5 minutes before
starting engine.
□
Never store the machine or fuel container near an open
flame, spark or pilot light as on a water heater, space
heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.
□
To reduce fire hazard, keep machine free of grass, leaves,
or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and
remove any fuel soaked debris.
□
Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
□
Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless
and deadly gas.
