Do not allow anyone to enter the operating DANGER ZONE with
you. The danger zone is an area 15 meters in radius (about 16 paces)
or 50 feet.
Insist that persons in the RISK ZONE beyond the danger zone wear
eye protection from thrown objects. If the unit must be used where
there are unprotected people, operate at a low throttle speed to
reduce the risk of thrown objects.
NO PERSON EXCEPT OPERATOR ALLOWED IN 15 METER RADIUS* DANGER ZONE. EYE, EAR, FACE, FOOT,
LEG AND BODY PROTECTION MUST BE WORN BY OPERATOR. PERSONS IN ZONE OF RISK BEYOND
DANGER ZONE SHOULD WEAR EYE PROTECTION AGAINST THROWN OBJECTS. RISK DIMINISHES WITH
DISTANCE FROM DANGER ZONE.
PREPARATION
WARNING
DANGER
In addition to head, eye, face and ear protection from thrown
objects, wear protective clothes and sturdy shoes to protect
your feet and improve footing on slippery surfaces. Do not
wear ties, jewelry, or loose, dangling clothing which could be
caught in the unit. Do not wear open-toed footwear, or go
barefoot or bare legged. In certain situations you must assess
whether total face and head protection may be required.
When coupling the shaft to the powerhead, be sure the muffler side
of the engine is to the right when the debris shield is in level position.
Install the handle in position for optimum comfort and good control
of the tool. See the operator’s manual for handle installation.
* This DANGER ZONE has been increased from a 10 to 15 meter radius to
include the cutting of small trees that may fall on other adjacent operators
performing the same work.
WARNING
DANGER
Beyond the 15-meter (50-feet) DANGER ZONE, there still may
be risk of eye injury from thrown objects. The risk diminishes
with distance. But eye protection should be considered for
everyone in the zone of risk.
