WARNING
WARNING
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing 
and balance at all times. Special care 
must be taken in slippery conditions (wet 
ground, snow) and in difficult, overgrown 
terrain. Watch for hidden obstacles such 
as tree stumps, roots and ditches to 
avoid stumbling. For better footing, clear 
away scrub and cuttings. Be extremely 
cautious when working on slopes or 
uneven ground.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of 
control, never work on a ladder or on any 
other insecure support. Never hold the 
cutting attachment above waist height.
Working Conditions
Operate and start your power tool only 
outdoors in a well ventilated area. 
Operate it under good visibility and 
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
WARNING
WARNING
If the vegetation being cut or the 
surrounding ground is coated with a 
chemical substance (such as an active 
pesticide or herbicide), read and follow 
the instructions and warnings that 
accompanied the substance at issue.
WARNING
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially 
organic dusts such as mold or pollen, 
can cause susceptible persons to have 
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. 
Substantial or repeated inhalation of 
dust and other airborne contaminants, in 
particular those with a smaller particle 
size, may cause respiratory or other 
illnesses. Control dust at the source 
where possible. Use good work 
practices, such as operating the unit so 
that the wind or operating process 
directs any dust raised by the power tool 
away from the operator. Follow the 
recommendations of EPA / OSHA / 
NIOSH and occupational and trade 
associations with respect to dust 
("particulate matter"). When the 
inhalation of dust cannot be 
substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or 
near the ambient (background) level, the 
operator and any bystanders should 
wear a respirator approved by NIOSH / 
MSHA for the type of dust encountered.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
Do not operate your power tool using the 
starting throttle lock, as you do not have 
control of the engine speed.
In the event of an emergency, shut off 
the engine immediately – move the slide 
control / stop switch to 0 or STOP.
WARNING
WARNING
The rotating cutting attachment may 
fling foreign objects directly or by 
ricochet a great distance.
Never attempt to operate 
your power tool with one 
hand. Loss of control of 
the power tool resulting in 
serious or fatal injury may 
result. To reduce the risk 
of cut injuries, keep 
hands and feet away 
from the cutting attach
-
ment. Never touch a 
moving cutting attach
-
ment with your hand or 
any other part of your 
body.
As soon as the engine is 
running, this product gen
-
erates toxic exhaust 
fumes containing chemi
-
cals, such as unburned 
hydrocarbons (including 
benzene) and carbon 
monoxide, that are 
known to cause respira
-
tory problems, cancer, 
birth defects, or other 
reproductive harm. Some 
of the gases (e.g. carbon 
monoxide) may be color
-
less and odorless. To 
reduce the risk of serious 
or fatal injury / illness 
from inhaling toxic fumes, 
never run the machine 
indoors or in poorly venti
-
lated locations.
The cutting attachment 
continues to rotate for a 
short period after the 
throttle trigger is released 
(flywheel effect.)
