Inspect Working area
Objects thrown by the trimmer can cause serious injury.
Before operating the trimmer, carefully inspect the area and
remove all objects that could be thrown by, or entangled in,
the cutting attachment, such as rocks, broken glass, nails,
wire, or other loose objects.
Keep all children and other bystanders at least 50 feet (15
meters) away from where the trimmer is being operated.
If anyone approaches while operating the trimmer, release
the throttle and stop the engine.
Inspect cutting attachments
Look for signs of damage to the cutting attachment.
Replace any cutting attachment and parts that are worn
out, bent, cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way.
If using the trimmer blade, be sure it is sharp. A dull blade
is more likely to snag and thrust.
Ensure the cutting attachment is installed correctly.
Ensure that the blade guard is securely installed and in
good condition.
