A FEW WORDS ABOUT SAFETY
Your safety, and the safety of others, are very important. And using this stick edger safely is an
important responsibility.
To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided operating procedures and
other information on labels and in this manual. This information alerts you to potential hazards that
could hurt you or others.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the hazards associated with operating
or maintaining a stick edger. You must use your own good judgment.
You will find important safety information in a variety of forms, including:
•
Safety Labels — on the stick edger.
•
Safety Messages — preceded by a safety alert symbol
and one of three signal words,
DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
These signal words mean:
•
Safety Headings — such as IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
•
Safety Section — such as STICK EDGER SAFETY.
•
Instructions — how to use this stick edger correctly and safely.
This entire book is filled with important safety information — please read it carefully.
