This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts operating with high energy at high speeds. You must operate the machine

safely. Unsafe operation can create a number of hazards for you, as well as anyone else in the nearby area. Always take the

following precautions when using this machine:

 Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people, their property, and

themselves.

 Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields while mowing to protect your eyes from possible thrown

debris.

 Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch on the mower’s moving parts.

 We recommend wearing rubber gloves while mowing. Be sure your gloves fit properly and do not have loose cuffs or

drawstrings.

 Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your DR PULSE TRIMMER/MOWER. If you have safety shoes, we recommend

wearing them. Do not use the machine while barefoot or wearing sandals with exposed toes or heels.

 Wear long pants while operating the DR PULSE TRIMMER/MOWER.

 Use ear protectors or ear plugs rated for at least 20 dba to protect your hearing.

 Always use a face or dust mask in dusty conditions.

 Keep bystanders at least 50 feet away from your work area at all times. The tips of the cutting cords on the DR PULSE

TRIMMER/MOWER can throw sticks, small stones, gravel, and bits of debris over long distances at great velocity. Do not

travel over loose materials such as gravel or mulch with the trimmer head spinning. Doing so could cause personal injury or

property damage from thrown objects. Release the bail bar to stop the spinning cords and motor when another person or pet

approaches.

 Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

 Never operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

 In an emergency, to quickly stop the cutting cords and motor, remove your hand from the bail bar.

 Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair to prevent entanglement.
