Safety (continued)
The properly equipped operator
Wear nonslip heavy-duty work
gloves to improve your grip on the
unit's handle. Wear snug-fitting
clothes that also permit freedom of
movement. NEVER wear shorts!
Keep a proper footing and do not
overreach—maintain your balance
at all times during operation.
Wear sturdy footwear with nonslip
soles to provide good footing. Steel-
toed safety boots are recommended.
Never operate unit bare-footed!
Be aware of the working environment
Avoid long-term operation in very
hot or very cold weather.
Be extremely careful of
slippery terrain, especially
during rainy weather.
Be constantly alert for objects and
debris that could be thrown either
from the rotating cutting attachment
or bounced from a hard surface.
When operating in rocky terrain or near
electric wires or fences, use extreme
caution to avoid contacting such items
with the cutting attachment.

at all times, and NEVER lift a moving

Always make sure the appropriate cutting
attachment shield is correctly installed and in
good condition.

16 paces—of an operating attachment.
If contact is made with a hard
object, stop the engine and
inspect the cutting attachment
for damage.
Always make sure the
appropriate cutting attachment
shield is correctly installed.
