MEANING
• BRUSHCUTTERS • Replace dull blade.
Do not sharpen the cutting blade. Sharpening the blade can cause the blade tip to
break off while in use. This can result in severe personal injury.
• TRIMMER/BRUSHCUTTER SAFETY
WARNING: Thrown objects and rotating cutter can cause severe injury. Keep
bystanders, especially children and pets, at least 50 feet (15 m) away from the cutting
area. The cutting attachment shield must be used when using the trimmer
cutting attachment.
WARNING: The operation of any power tool can cause foreign objects to be thrown
into your eyes. This can lead to severe eye damage. Before commencing power tool
operation, always wear safety glasses or goggles that are marked as meeting ANSI
Z87.1 standards, and a full face shield when needed.
