you are approached, stop the engine and cutting attachment. 
In  the  case  of  bladed  units,  there  is  the  added  risk  of  injury 
to  bystanders  from  being  struck  with  the  moving  blade  in  the

To avoid hot surfaces, never operate the unit with the bottom 
of the engine above waist level.

Do  not  touch  area  around  the  muffler  or  cylinder  of  the  unit,

unit from moving before transporting in a vehicle.

Wear protective equipment and observe all safety instructions. 
For units equipped with a clutch, be sure the cutting attachment 
stops turning when the engine idles. When the unit is turned off 
make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before the unit 
is set down.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Inspect  before  use.  Replace  damaged  parts.  Make  sure 
fasteners are in place and secure. Check for fuel leaks.

Replace  cutting  head  if  cracked,  chipped  or  damaged  in  any 
way. Be sure the cutting head is properly installed and securely 
fastened. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.

Make  sure  all  guards,  straps,  deflectors  and  handles  are 
properly and securely attached.

Use  only  the  manufacturer’s  replacement  cutting  line  in  the 
cutting  head.  Do  not  use  any  other  cutting  attachment.  To 
install  any  other  brand  of  replacement  line  or  cutting  head  to 
this  line  trimmer  can  result  in  serious  personal  injury.  Never 
use,  for  example,  wire  or  wire-rope,  which  can  break  off  and 
become a dangerous projectile.

Never operate unit without the grass deflector in place and in 
good condition.

Maintain  a  firm  grip  on  both  handles  while  trimming.  Keep 
cutting head below waist level. Never cut with the cutting head 
located over 60cm or more above the ground.

Do  not  place  battery  tools  or  their  batteries  near  fire  or  heat. 
This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.

Always  shut  off  engine  before  fuelling.  Never  add  fuel  to  a 
machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 0m from 
refuelling site before starting engine. Wipe up any fuel spillage. 
DO NOT SMOKE. Failure to heed this warning could result in 
serious personal injury.

Do  not  crush,  drop  or  damage  battery  pack.  Do  not  use  a 
battery  pack  or  charger  that  has  been  dropped  or  received  a 
sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly 
dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.

Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, 
such  as  a  pilot  light.  To  reduce  the  risk  of  serious  personal 
injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open 
flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If 
exposed, flush with water immediately.

Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following 
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
