foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause
personal injury.
• Before using the machine, always visually
inspect to see that the cutter or blade
and the cutter or blade assembly are not
damaged. Damaged parts increase the risk
of injury.
• Follow instructions for changing
accessories. Improperly tightened blade
securing nuts or bolts may either damage
the blade or result in it becoming detached.
• The rated rotational speed of the cutter
must be at least equal to the maximum
rotational speed marked on the machine.
Cutters running faster than their rated
rotational speed can break and fly apart.
• Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection.
Adequate protective equipment will reduce
personal injury by flying debris or
accidental contact with the cutting line or
blade.
• While operating the machine, always
wear non-slip protective footwear. Do not
operate the machine when barefoot or
wearing open sandals. This reduces the
chance of injury to the feet from contact
with a moving cutter, line or blade.
• While operating the machine, always wear
long trousers. Exposed skin increases the
likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
• Keep bystanders away while operating
the machine. Thrown debris can result in
serious personal injury.
• Always use two hands when operating the
machine. Holding the machine with both
hands will avoid loss of control.
• Hold the machine by the insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutting line or
blade may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
line or blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the
machine "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
• Always keep proper footing and operate
the machine only when standing on the
ground. Slippery or unstable surfaces may
cause a loss of balance or control of the
machine.
• Do not operate the machine on excessively
steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss
of control, slipping and falling which may
result in personal injury.
• When working on slopes, always be sure
of your footing, always work across the
