T261
This label indicates the minimum
distance between front handle and
rear grip per ANSI B175.3.
Be Aware of the Working Environment
Avoid long-term operation
in very hot or very cold
weather.
Make sure bystanders or observers
outside the 50-foot “danger zone”
wear eye protection.
Be extremely
careful of slip-
pery terrain,
especially during
rainy weather.
Always
make sure the
appropriate cutting
attachment shield is
correctly installed.
If contact is made with a hard object,
stop the engine and inspect the cutting
attachment for damage.
When operating in rocky terrain or near electric
wires or fences, use extreme caution to avoid con-
tacting such items with the cutting attachment.
Be constantly alert for objects and debris that could be thrown
either from the rotating cutting attachment or bounced from a
hard surface.
Reduce the risk of
bystanders being struck
by flying debris. Make
sure no one is within 50
feet (15 meters)—that’s
about 16 paces—of an
operating attachment.
