Always wear proper eye protection against thrown objects. Objects
can bounce up at you from the ground under the debris shield, or
ricochet off any nearby hard surface.
Do not trim at high blade or line speeds near roadways when there
is traffic, or in places where there are pedestrians. If you must trim
where people are in the zone of risk (see page 11) use a much lower
or reduced blade or line speed, by using a partial trigger setting.
Do not push the line into tough weeds, trees, or wire fences. Pushing
the line into chicken wire, chain link fencing or thick brush can result
in snapped-off line ends being hurled back at the operator. The
proper way is to cut right up to a barrier, such as any of those
mentioned, but never run the line into or through the obstruction.
Do not cut closely to obstruction or barrier.
Avoid trimmer line contact with broken wire fencing. Pieces of wire
broken off by the trimmer can be hurled at high speeds.
WARNING
DANGER
Do not trim in any area where there are broken strands of
fencing wire. Remove the broken pieces of wire, or give the
are wide berth. Wear proper safety protection. Do no cut
where you cannot see what the cutting device is cutting.
