●
If the edge of the optional blade is blunt or damaged, do not operate the trimmer/brush cutter.
Otherwise, it could cause damage to the engine and machine due to overloading.
1.2.4 Precautions at Start-up
The
trimmer/brush cutter
must only be started and operated by one person.
* Operation by more than one person increases the likelihood of mishandling and
resulting injury.
Always start the trimmer/brush cutter in an open, flat area with the cutting head
or blade off the ground.
* Otherwise, you risk injury from falling or hitting the cutting head or blade on the ground
or obstacles.
1.2.5 Precautions for Operation
Do not operate the trimmer/brush cutter on insecure footings including a
ladder, tree, back of the truck.
* You could fall off the footing, drop the trimmer/brush cutter or contact the cutting head or
blade by inappropriately handling it, resulting in serious injury or death.
Do not operate the trimmer/brush cutter using just one hand.
* You could drop the trimmer/brush cutter or contact the cutting head or blade by
mishandling, potentially leading to serious injury or death.
If the cutting head or blade starts moving while idling, do not use the trimmer/
brush cutter.
While cutting grass, put up a KEEP OUT sign in a prominent place to prevent
any third person from entering within 50 ft (15 m) of the working area.
* Otherwise, a serious injury may happen.
Be sure to use cutting head or blade and the other parts specified by the
manufacturer.
* If any cutting head or blade other than that specified is used, the cutting head or
blade could be damaged or it could come off, resulting in injury of the operator and/or
bystanders.
