WARNING: To reduce the potential of serious injury, cut only from your
left toward your right. Cutting on the right side of the deector shield and
moving directionally towards your right will cause the debris and objects to
be thrown predominately away from the operator thereby reducing the risk of
personal injury to the operator, although the risk of injury due to ricochet is not
lessened. Whereas cutting on the left-side of the deector shield or moving
directionally towards your left will cause for comparatively more debris to be thrown
towards the operator thereby increasing the risk of personal injury.
Hold the trimmer rmly with both hands to ensure proper control.
Never operate the trimmer with one hand.
