GRASS TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This de-
creases the risk of being struck by lightning.
Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the
machine is to be used. Wildlife may be injured by the
machine during operation.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to
be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones,
and other foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause
personal injury.
Before using the machine, always visually inspect to
see that the cutter or blade and the cutter or blade
assembly are not damaged. Damaged parts increase
the risk of injury.
Follow instructions for changing accessories. Improp-
erly tightened blade securing nuts or bolts may either
damage the blade or result in it becoming detached.
Wear eye, ear, and hand protection. Adequate protec-
tive equipment will reduce personal injury by flying debris
or accidental contact with the cutting line or blade.
While operating the machine, always wear non-slip
and protective footwear. Do not operate the machine
when barefoot or wearing open sandals. This reduces
the chance of injury to the feet from contact with the
moving blade.
While operating the machine, always wear long trou-
sers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury from
thrown objects.
Keep bystanders away while operating the machine.
Thrown debris can result in serious personal injury.
Always use two hands when operating the machine.
Hold the machine with both hands to avoid loss of control.
Hold the grass trimmer by the insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutting line or blade may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting line or blades contact-
ing a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
machine "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Always keep proper footing and operate the machine
only when standing on the ground. Slippery or unstable
surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the
machine.
Do not operate the machine on excessively steep
slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping
and falling which may result in personal injury.
When working on slopes, always be sure of your foot-
ing, always work across the face of slopes, never up
or down and exercise extreme caution when changing
direction. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping
and falling which may result in personal injury.
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting line or
blade when the machine is operating. Before you start
the machine, make sure the cutting line or blade is
not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while
operating the machine may result in injury to yourself or
others.
Do not operate the machine above waist height. This
helps prevent unintended cutter or blade contact and
enables better control of the machine in unexpected
situations.
When cutting brush or saplings that are under ten-
sion, be alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released, the brush or sapling may strike
the operator and/or throw the machine out of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings.
The slender material may catch the blade and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
Maintain control of the machine and do not touch
blades and other hazardous moving parts while they
are still in motion. This reduces the risk of injury from
moving parts.
Carry the machine with the machine switched off and
away from your body. Proper handling of the machine
will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the
moving blade.
Only use replacement cutting lines, cutting heads
and blades specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement parts may increase the risk of breakage and
injury.
When clearing jammed material or servicing the
machine, make sure the switch is off and the battery
pack is removed. Unexpected actuation of the machine
while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
