To ensure safe operation
Operator Responsibility
• Do not operate the grass/weed trimmer with the grass deflector,
labels, and other parts removed.
Note that the grass deflector is provided for protection of the
operator from the debris that are thrown from the wheeling cutting
attachment.
Never operate the grass/weed trimmer with the grass deflector
removed or before installing the grass deflector in the proper position
securely.
• Do not mount an incorrect part and do not tamper with the grass/
weed trimmer as it can result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage. Use the cutting attachment that is designated for your
model and application.
• Before cranking the engine, be sure to check the cutting attachment
cannot come into contact with the ground or any obstruction. Failure
to do so may result in losing control of the grass/weed trimmer.
• Start the engine carefully according to instructions and with hands
and feet well away from the cutting attachment.
• Start the grass/weed trimmer on a level surface, free of high grass or
obstacle.
• Do not raise the cutting attachment above your knee height during
operation. You can be hit by the debris thrown by the wheeling
cutting attachment in your eyes and face causing injury.
• Never carry the grass/weed trimmer while the cutting attachment is
turning. Before you carry the grass/weed trimmer, be sure to stop the
engine and confirm the cutting attachment stops its turning.
