SAFETY
Clear The Work Area
• Always clear the work area of foreign objects such as rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, or string, and check for any hidden hazards. Spectators
and fellow workers must be warned, and children and animals prevented
from coming nearer than 50 ft. (15 m) while the unit is in use.
• Outside the 15 m (50 ft) zone, there is still a risk of injury from thrown
objects.
• Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection.
• If you are approached, stop the engine and cutting attachment.
• When a bladed unit is used, there is the added risk of injury to bystanders
being struck with the moving blade in the event of a blade thrust or other
unexpected reaction of the blade.
Keep A Firm Grip
• Always hold throttle handle and support handle with thumbs and fingers
tightly encircling the handles.
Keep A Solid Stance
• Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not stand on slippery,
uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions or on ladders.
Do not over reach.
• Keep cutting attachment below waist.
• Keep all body parts away from rotating cutting attachment.
Avoid Hot Surfaces
• Keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris. Avoid
contact during and immediately after operation.
