CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children.
• Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this trimmer. Children who are 14 years of age
and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety rules in this manual, and
must be trained and supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the chain saw off if a child or any other person enters the working area.
• Look behind and down for small children before and while cutting backwards.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may
obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the chain saw.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemical: work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
