• Before trimming, check the area and remove all

obstacles and objects that could be thrown.

• Do not force the blades and only move as quickly as

the blades will allow.

• Stop the engine and disconnect from ignition cable

before: - cleaning or when clearing a blockage;
checking, maintenance or working on the machine.

• Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable. Never

add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine.

• Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you are

qualified to do so.

• Do not operate the machine with a damaged or

excessively worn cutting device.

• Always ensure all handles and guards are fitted when

using the machine. Never attempt to use an
incomplete machine or one fitted with an unauthorized
modification.

• When transporting or storing the machine always fit

the blade cover.

• To reduce fire hazard keep engine and silencer free

of debris, leaves or excessive grease.

• Handle blade with care, contacting with metal blades

may cause injury.

• Plan to trim regularly to make it easier to keep neat

edges and to avoid having to make more than one
pass.

• When starting to trim, run the engine at full throttle.
