SERVICE INFORMATION

• Never allow children to operate the unit. Never allow adults to operate the unit without proper instruction.
• Make sure that all guards and safety attachments are properly installed before operating the unit.
• Keep these instructions. Refer to them often and use them to instruct other users. If loaning

someone this unit, also loan them these instructions.

• Keep bystanders, especially children and pets, at least 50 feet (15 m) away. If anyone enters the

work area, stop the unit!

• Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not start the operation until the work

area is clear and free from obstructions and there is secure footing.

• Always wear appropriate eye and ear protection when operating this unit. Wear safety goggles, or

safety glasses with side shields, that are marked as meeting ANSI Z87.1-1989 standards. Failure to
do so could result in serious eye injury caused by thrown or falling objects. If the operation is dusty,
wear a facemask or dust mask. 

• Dress appropriately. Wear non-slip protective gloves and boots. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, short

pants, sandals or go barefoot. Secure hair above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in moving parts.

• Only use the unit in daylight or good artificial light.
• Only use the unit for its intended purpose. Only use the unit as described in this manual.

TRIMMER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Inspect the work area before using the unit. Remove any hard and/or sharp objects, such as metal, glass,

wire, etc. If thrown, such objects could cause property damage or injury to the operator or bystanders.

• Only use 0.065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter original equipment manufacturer replacement line. Never

use metal-reinforced line, wire or rope. These can break off and become dangerous projectiles.

• Keep the unit clean of vegetation and other materials. They may become lodged between the

cutting attachment and the shield. Keep vent openings clean and clear of debris.

• The cutting attachment shield must always be in place while operating the unit. Do not operate the

unit without the trimming line extended and the proper line installed. Do not extend the trimming
line beyond the length of the shield.

• Extra caution is required when using the unit for edging purposes. There is an increased risk of

injury or property damage caused by thrown objects when the cutting attachment shield is not held
horizontal to the ground.
