SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result
in severe injury. Operation on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel
uneasy on a slope, do not trim on it. For your safety, use the slope gauge
included as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating this
machine on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees, do
not trim on it.
DO:
1.Trim across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise extreme
caution when changing direction on slopes.
2.Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause
you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
3.Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal
injury. If you feel you are losing your balance, release the control lever
immediately and the spindle will stop rotating within three (3) seconds.
DO NOT:
1.Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or embankments, you could lose your
footing or balance.
2.Do not trim slopes greater than 15 degrees as shown on the slope gauge.
3.Do not trim on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of
children. Children are often attracted to the string trimmer and the
trimming activity. They do not understand the dangers. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
1.Keep children out of the trimming area and under watchful care of a
responsible adult other than the operator.
2.Be alert and turn string trimmer off if a child enters the area.
