Be Aware of the Working Environment
Avoid long-term
operation in very hot
or very cold weather.
Be extremely careful
of slippery terrain,
especially during rainy
weather.
Be constantly alert for
objects and debris that
could be thrown either
from the rotating cutting
attachment or bounced
from a hard surface.
Make sure
bystanders
or observers
outside the
15 meter (50
feet) "danger
zone" wear eye
protection.
15 METERS
(50 FEET)
Always make sure
the appropriate
cutting attachment
shield is correctly
installed.
If contact is made with a hard object,
stop the engine and inspect the cutting
attachment for damage.
Reduce the risk of bystanders being
struck by flying debris. Make sure no
one is within 15 meters (50 feet)—
that's about 16 paces of an operating
attachment. Stop immediately if a
child, pet, or person comes within a
15 meter (50 feet)radius. Outside this
radius, there is still a risk of injury
from thrown objects.
Do not operate the unit
if the cutting attachment
shield is missing, loose,
or broken.
Beware of a coasting
blade when brushcutting or
edging. A coasting blade
can injure while it continues
15 m
to spin after the throttle
(50 ft.)
trigger is released or after
the engine is stopped.
ALWAYS clear your work area of trash
or hidden debris that could be thrown
back at you or toward a bystander.
When operating in rocky terrain or
near electric wires or fences, use
extreme caution to avoid contacting
such items with the cutting attachment.
