Cutting Safety
WARNING: Inspect area before starting unit. Remove all debris and hard objects such as rocks,
glass, wire, etc., that can ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or damage during
operation.
● Keep others including children, animals, bystanders, and helpers at least 50 feet (15meters) away.
Bystanders should be encouraged to wear safety glasses. Stop engine immediately if you are
approached.
● Always keep engine on the right hand side of your body.
● Hold the unit firmly with both hands.
● Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
● Keep blade or trimmer head below waist level. Do not raise engine above your waist.
● Keep all parts of your body away from blade, trimmer head, and muffler when engine is running. A
hot muffler can cause serious burns.
● Cut from your left to your right. Cutting on right side of the shield will throw debris away from the
operator.
● Use only in daylight or good artificial light.
● Use only for jobs explained in this manual.
Fuel Safety
● To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.
● Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.
● Only use a US EPA approved compliant portable fuel container.
● Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
● Never attempt to refuel the product while indoors.
● Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on
a water heater or on other appliances.
● Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
● Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel such equipment with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
● Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling
is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
● If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
● Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten securely.
Service
● Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
● When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.
