     Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.  When using the attachment on a trimmer with a gasoline engine, do not touch areas around the muffler or cylinder of the power head. These parts get hot from operation.

    Never use wire, wire rope, or flail blades, which can break off and become dangerous projectiles.  Never operate string trimmer without the grass deflector in place and in good condition.  Maintain a firm grip on both handles while trimming.
