OPERATING YOUR TRAILCUTTER
The operation of any mower can produce foreign objects to be thrown into the eyes, resulting in severe eye
damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or wide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before starting
any cutting machine and while operating such a machine.
The operation of any cutter produces sound waves that are damaging to the human ear. Ear protection is
recommended.
CAUTION! Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will
remain where you last saw them.
