SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some samples 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 chemicals: work in a well-ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that
are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: Know your grass trimmer. Do not plug in the charger or
install the battery onto the grass trimmer until you have read and
understand this Instruction Manual. Learn the tool’s applications
andlimitations, as well as the general and specic potential hazards related
to this tool. Following these instructions will reduce the risk of electric shock,
re or serious injury.
WARNING: Always wear appropriate eye protection. Any power tool can
throw foreign objects into your eyes and cause permanent eye damage.
ALWAYS wear appropriate safety goggles or properly tted safety glasses
that comply with the most recent version of ANSI Z87.1 safety standards. Ordinary
vision or sunglasses generally do not provide adequate impact or side shield / wrap
around penetration protection. Ordinary glasses ARE NOT safety glasses. To reduce
the risk of injury to your face you should also wear a face shield over your safety
goggles or safety glasses.
WARNING: Glasses, goggles or face shields not in compliance with
ANSI Z87.1 or CAN/CSA – Z94.3 could cause serious injury if they break
upon impact.
WARNING: Prevent foot injuries! Never operate when barefoot,
or wearing open toed shoes, or sandals. Always wear sturdy protective
shoes or boots with non-slip soles when operating the grass trimmer.
Steel-toed safety boots are recommended.
WARNING: Protect your hands by wearing heavy-duty, non-slip gloves
and to improve your grip and control when handling the grass trimmer.
Cover as much of your body as possible to help protect you from debris
and pieces of toxic and allergenic plants being thrown by the grass trimmer.
WARNING: Use hearing protection such as ear plugs or ear muers
to protect your hearing, particularly if the grass trimmer is used for extensive
periods or if the surrounding environment of operation exposes the operator
to loud noises. When wearing hearing protection, you will have impaired ability
to hear alarms, warnings and shouts from approaching people or approaching
vehicles. Be extra diligent and observant of hazards and bystanders when wearing
hearing protection devices. When someone approaches, turn the grass trimmer
OFF immediately.
