14 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.
15 Keep all power cords and cables away from cut-
ting area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in
hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut or
damaged by the line or cutter.
16 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.
17 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 the moving line or cutter.
18 Only use replacement cutting heads and plastic
cutting lines and cutters specified by the manu-
facturer. Do not replace the trimmer cutters or
lines with metal wires or blades. Incorrect re-
placement parts may cause loss of control, break-
age and injury.
