Always wear eye

lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or
debris can ricochet or be thrown into
eyes and face and cause blindness or
other serious injury.
When operating
unit, stand as shown
and check for the following:
• Wear eye protection,
hearing protec-
tion and heavy clothing.
• Hold trigger handle with right hand
and assist handle with left hand.
• Hold unit so that engine is below

• Cut only from your right to your left
