G138
SRM-22GES
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPERATING
OVER BARE SPOTS AND GRAVEL, BECAUSE
THE LINE CAN THROW SMALL ROCK PARTICLES
AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE SHIELD ON THE UNIT
CANNOT STOP OBJECTS WHICH BOUNCE OR
RICOCHET OFF HARD SURFACES.
Always wear proper eye protection against thrown objects.
Objects can bounce up at you from the ground under the
shield, or ricochet off any nearby hard surface.
Do not trim at high speed near roadways when there is
traffic, or in places where there are pedestrians. If you must
trim where people are in the zone of risk use a much lower
or reduced speed, by using a partial trigger setting. Do not
use full throttle.
Do not push the line into tough weeds, trees, or wire
fences. Pushing the line into chicken wire, chain link
fencing or thick brush can result in snapped-off line ends
being hurled back at the operator. The proper way is to cut
right up to a barrier, such as any of those mentioned, but
never run the line into or through the obstruction. Do not cut
closely to obstruction or barrier.
ALWAYS STOP THE ENGINE WHEN A CUTTING
ATTACHMENT JAM OCCURS. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO REMOVE AN OBJECT CAUSING A JAM IF THE
ENGINE IS RUNNING. INJURY CAN OCCUR IF A
JAM IS REMOVED AND THE CUTTING
ATTACHMENT SUDDENLY STARTS.
Avoid nylon line contact with broken wire fencing. Pieces
of wire broken off by the trimmer can be hurled at high
speeds.
DO NOT TRIM IN ANY AREA WHERE THERE ARE
BROKEN STRANDS OF FENCING WIRE. REMOVE
THE BROKEN PIECES OF WIRE, OR GIVE THE
AREA WIDE BERTH. WEAR PROPER SAFETY
PROTECTION. DO NOT CUT WHERE YOU
CANNOT SEE WHAT THE CUTTING DEVICE IS
CUTTING.
