WARNING:
This trimmer is equipped with an internal com bus tion engine and
should not be used on or near any un im proved forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-
cov ered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester

In the state of California the above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California
