TRIMMER SAFETY
• Only use the trimming line described in the Specifications section
of this manual. Never use metal-reinforced line, wire, chain or
rope. These can break off and become dangerous projectiles.
• Do not replace the cutting head with rigid or metal blades. Doing
so could result in serious injury.
• The cutting head shield must always be in place while operating
the unit. Do not operate the unit without both trimming lines
extended and the proper line installed. Do not extend the
trimming line beyond the length of the shield.
• Adjust the handle to provide the best grip, if applicable.
• Make sure the cutting head is not in contact with anything
before starting the unit.
• Always hold the unit with both hands when operating. Using
only one hand could lead to a loss of control and result in
serious personal injury.
• Keep hands and feet away from the cutting area.
