• Make sure that your hands and feet do not come
near the cutting attachment when the engine/
motor is on.
• When the engine/motor is switched off, keep
your hands and feet away from the cutting
attachment until it has stopped fully.
• Always keep the cutting attachment near the
ground.
• Always do edging at full throttle/speed.
• Always slow the engine/motor to idle speed after
each work operation. Long periods at full throttle/
speed without any load on the engine/motor (i.e
without the resistance that the cutting attachment
exerts on the engine/motor when you are using
the product) can lead to serious engine/motor
damage.
• Be especially careful when you pull the edger
towards you during work.
• If any object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the
product immediately. If you have a gasoline
operated product, remove the spark plug cap
from the spark plug. If you have a battery
operated product, remove the battery. Check that
the product is not damaged. Repair any damage.
• Sometimes grass or stones can get trapped in
the cutting attachment guard and cutting
attachment. Always stop the engine/motor before
you clean it.
