Safety Precautions
• Avoid running the engine indoors. The
exhaust gases contain harmful carbon
monoxide.
• Never use your trimmer under
circumstances like those described below:
1. When the ground is slippery or when
other conditions exist which might make
it not possible to maintain a steady
posture while using the trimmer.
2. At night, at times of heavy fog, or at any
other times when your field of vision
might be limited and it would be difficult
to gain a clear view of the area where
the trimmer is to be used to ensure
safety.
3. During rain storms, during lightning
storms, at times of strong or gale-force
winds, or at any other times when
weather conditions might make it unsafe
to use this product.
• When using this product for the first time,
before beginning actual work, take the
trimmer to a wide, clear, open space, turn
on the power, and practice handling the
trimmer until you are sure that you will be
able to handle in it properly in actual
operation.
• Lack of sleep, tiredness, or physical
exhaustion results in lower attention spans,
and this in turn leads to accidents and
injury. When planning your work schedule,
allow plenty of time to perform the work of
trimming and allow plenty of time for rest.
Limit the amount of time over which the
trimmer is to be used continuously to
somewhere around 30~40 minutes per
session, and take 10~20 minutes of rest
between work sessions. Also try to keep
the total amount of work performed in a
single day under 2 hours or less.
