The operation of any trimmer can result in foreign objects thrown into
the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety
glasses or eye shields while operating your trimmer or per form ing any
adjustments or repairs. We rec om mend standard safety glasses or a
wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.
Look for this symbol to point out im por-

YOUR SAFE TY IS INVOLVED.
WARNING: In order to prevent ac ci-
den tal starting when setting up, trans port-
ing, ad just ing or making repairs, always
dis con nect spark plug wire and place wire
where it can not contact plug.
CAUTION: Muffler and
other engine parts become
extremely hot during
operation and remain hot
after engine has stopped.
To avoid severe burns
on contact, stay away from these areas.
WARNING: This trimmer is equipped
with an internal com bus tion engine and
should not be used on or near any un im-
proved forest-covered, brush-covered or
grass-cov ered land unless the engine's
exhaust system is equipped with a spark
arrester meeting applicable local or state
laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it
should be main tained in effective working
order by the operator.
In the state of California the above is
required by law (Section 4442 of the
California Public Resources Code). Other
states may have similar laws. Federal
laws apply on federal lands. A spark ar-
rester for the muffler is available through
your nearest Sears Service Centre/Depart-
ment in Canada (see the REPAIR PARTS
section of this manual).

• Do not put hands or feet near or under
rotating parts.
• Keep all parts of your body away from
muffler and spinning line. A hot muffler
can cause serious burns.
• Only allow responsible individuals, who
are familiar with the instructions, to
operate the machine.
• Stay away from breakable objects, such
as house windows, auto glass, green-
hous es, etc.
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys,
wire, bones, sticks, etc., which could be
picked up and thrown by the spinning lines.
• Be sure the area is clear of other people
before trimming, particularly small chil-
dren and pets. Stop machine if anyone
enters the area.
• Wear appropriate clothing such as a long-
sleeved shirt or jacket. Also wear long
trousers or slacks. Do not wear shorts.
• Do not wear loose clothing which could
get caught in this equipment.
• Do not operate the machine when bare-
foot or wearing open sandals. Always
wear work gloves and sturdy footwear.
Leather work shoes or short boots work
well for most people. These will protect
the operator's ankles and shins from
small sticks, splinters, and other debris,
and improve traction.
• Do not pull machine backwards unless
absolutely necessary. Always look
down and behind before and while
moving backwards.
• Do not operate the machine without
proper guards, plates or other safety
protective devices in place.
• See manufacturer's instructions for
proper operation and installation of
accessories. Only use accessories ap-
proved by the manufacturer.
