Adequate protective equipment will reduce
personal injury.
j) While operating the machine, always
wear non-slip and protective footwear. Do
not operate the machine when barefoot
or wearing open sandals. This reduces the
chance of injury to the feet from contact with
the moving cutter.
k) Always wear clothing such as trousers
that covers the operator's legs while
operating the machine. Contact with the
moving cutter or line may cause injury.
l) Keep bystanders away while operating
the machine. Thrown debris can result in
serious personal injury.
m) Do not operate the machine above waist
height. This helps prevent unintended cutter
contact and enables better control of the
machine in unexpected situations.
n) Exercise caution when operating the
machine in wet grass. Walk, never run.
This reduces the risk of slipping and falling
which may result in personal injury.
o) Do not operate the machine on
excessively steep slopes. This reduces
the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling
which may result in personal injury.
p) When working on slopes, always be sure
of your footing, always work across the
face of slopes, never up or down and
exercise extreme caution when changing
direction. This reduces the risk of loss of
control, slipping and falling which may result
in personal injury.
q) Keep all power cords and cables away
from cutting area. Power cords or cables
may be hidden in hedges or bushes and can
be accidentally cut or damaged by the line or
cutter.
r) Keep all parts of the body away from the
moving trimmer cutter or line. Do not
clear material from the machine until it
has been disconnected from the power
source. The moving trimmer cutter or line
may result in serious personal injury.
s) Carry the machine with the machine
switched off and away from your body.
Proper handling of the machine will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with a
moving trimmer cutter or line.
t) Only use replacement cutting heads
and trimmer cutters or lines specifi ed
by the manufacturer. Do not replace the
trimmer cutters or lines with metal wires
or blades. Incorrect replacement parts may
