Air Trimmers have been designed to obtain the highest possible degree of
safety. The trimmer contains a sharp knife blade. Handle this equipment with caution, as you
would any sharp object. In particular, read and apply the following safety recommendations:
Sharp blades may cause cut injury!
For proper protection of hands, a protective glove
should be used when operating this equipment and
during the handling of the blades. Metal mesh gloves
are recommended for the “non-knife” hand.
Keep hands away from moving blades!
If at any time this machine does not appear to operate
normally or exhibits a marked change in performance,
it should be immediately shut down, disconnected
from the air supply, and tagged as “unsafe” until such
time as proper repairs are made and the machine
again operates normally.
Hearing loss may occur!
Always operate with hose and muffler attached.
Sharp blades may cause injury!
Always disconnect air supply prior to servicing unit.
Long or repeated use of various power tools vibrating
excessively is suspected of contributing to certain
hand, wrist or forearm disorders in susceptible
individuals. If excessive vibration occurs, it is an
indication that there are worn parts that need
replacement.
If your trimmer develops unusual vibration, do not
continue to use it without first undertaking corrective
action as outlined in the fault and detection section of
this operating instruction.
