ENGLISH
Be extremely
careful of
slippery terrain,
especially
during rainy
weather.
Avoid long-term
operation in very hot or
very cold weather.
If contact is made with a hard
object, stop the engine and
inspect the cutting attachment
for damage.
Be constantly alert for objects and debris that
could be thrown either from the rotating cutting
attachment or bounced from a hard surface.
Make sure bystanders or
observers outside the 50-foot
“danger zone” wear eye
protection.
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.
When operating in rocky
terrain or near electric wires
or fences, use extreme
caution to avoid contacting
such items with the cutting
attachment.
Always make sure
the appropriate
cutting attachment
shield is correctly
installed.
Beware of a coasting blade when
brushcutting or edging. A coasting blade
can injure while it continues to spin after the
throttle trigger is released or after the
engine is stopped.
