NEUTON MA 3.0 Cordless Electric Trimmer Safety & Operating Instructions
3
Protecting Yourself and Those Around You
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are
often attracted to the Trimmer and the trimming activity. Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them.
■
Be sure the area is clear of other people before using your Trimmer. Do not allow children,
other bystanders, or pets in your work area when the Trimmer is being operated. Stop the
Trimmer if anyone enters the area.
■
Keep children out of the trimming area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
■
Be alert and turn the Trimmer off if children enter the area.
■
Only allow responsible individuals who have a thorough understanding of these instructions to
operate the Trimmer. Never allow children to operate the Trimmer.
■
Before and while pulling the Trimmer backwards, look behind and down for small children and
for secure footing.
■
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure
your vision.
■
If you are ever unsure about an action you are about to take, please don’t do it.
Dressing Appropriately
■
Always use safety goggles or glasses when using your NEUTON Trimmer to protect your eyes
from possible thrown objects. Use a face or dust mask if operating in dusty conditions.
■
Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your Trimmer. If you have safety shoes, wear
them. Do not use the Trimmer while barefoot or wearing open sandals.
■
Wear long pants while trimming.
■
Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry that might be caught in the Trimmer’s moving parts.
Preparing to Use Your Trimmer
■
Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the Trimmer and any related manuals.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the machine before starting.
■
Never operate the NEUTON Trimmer, Mower, or Power Pod without the proper guards,
safety switches, or other safety and protective devices in place and properly connected. Inspect
the Trimmer, Mower or Power Pod and cutting cord to determine that these safety devices are
properly installed, in good repair, and operate properly. If the condition or operation of these
devices is questionable, they must be repaired or replaced before using the machine.
■
Follow the instructions for the proper installation and operation of accessories. Use only
accessories approved by the manufacturer. Do not alter any aspect of the Mower, Power Pod,
attachments, or accessories in any way. Modifying or changing your Trimmer in any way could
cause personal injuries and property damage, and will void your warranty.
WARNING!
This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and
throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result
