responsible adult.

trees, or other objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run
into the path of the machine.

power tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged batteries. Service of batteries should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Grass Trimmer Safety Warnings

of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
• Always wear safety glasses with side shields marked to comply with ANSI
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT
safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury. Use
face mask if operating in dusty work spaces.

conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.

caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial footwear is
recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to

which it is intended.
• Avoid unintentional starting – Don’t carry the machine with finger on
switch. Be sure switch is off when battery is plugged in.
