ill. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator
is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the machine
and the trimming activity.
Never assume
that children will remain where you last
saw them.
• Keep children out of the trimming area
and under the watchful care of another
responsible adult.
• Be alert and turn machine off if children
enter the area.
• Before and while moving backwards, look
behind & down for small children.
• Never allow children to operate the ma-
chine.

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may obscure vision.
