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 your trimmer handles
and grip are in good condition 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 bodily injury
resulting from loss of control and/or
contact with the cutting tool, make sure
your unit is equipped with the proper
handle and harness for the type of
cutting attachment being used.
!
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 various cutting tools of
your owner's manual). Do not
overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Special care must
be taken in slippery conditions (wet
ground, snow) 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.
Before cutting, inspect the
area for stones, glass,
pieces of metal, trash or
other solid objects. The
cutting attachment could
throw objects of this kind.
!
Warning!
This trimmer is normally to be used at
ground level with the cutting attachment
parallel to the ground. Use of a trimmer
above ground level or with the cutting
attachment perpendicular to the ground
may increase the risk of injury, since the
cutting attachment is more fully exposed
and the trimmer may be more difficult to
control. Never use your trimmer as a
hedge trimmer.
Do not operate using the starting
throttle lock as you do not have control
of the engine speed. See section of your
owner's manual on the proper use of the
slide control.
If the cutting tool or deflector becomes
clogged or stuck, always turn off the
engine and make sure the cutting tool
has stopped, before cleaning. Grass,
weeds, etc. should be cleaned off the
cutting tool at regular intervals.
