SPECIFIC
SAFETY
RULES
Identify
hazards and take preventive steps
to
avoid accidents
and
minimize risk. Possible hazards include,
but
are
not
limited
to, moving parts, thrown objects, the weight
of
the machine
and
components, and the operating environment.
BEFORE
STARTING
Thoroughly inspect the area
to
be
worked,
and
remove all debris
and
hard
or
sharp objects like stones, sticks,
glass,
wire
or
bones
which could
be
tripped over
or
picked up
and
thrown by the string
trimmer mower. Do
not
operate the trimmer in lawns
with
large
rocks and foreign objects which can damage
the
machine. And
thrown objects
can
cause
serious personal injury.
Do
not
use the product in
bad
weather, including fog, rain, moist
or
wet
locations, strong winds, intense cold,
and
risk
of
lightning.
Doing
work
in bad
weather
can cause fatigue and dangerous
conditions, such
as
slippery surfaces.
Before starting your string trimmer mower make sure the shields,
guards and safety devices are properly affixed
to
the machine,
check the oil level,
and
make sure all nuts
and
bolts are tight.
Verify
that
the control lever
is
working properly. Make sure
that
the cable
is
free
and
that
the control lever
is
not damaged.
Move the machine
at
least 10 feet away
from
the refueling point
before starting the engine.
OPERATION
SAFETY
Do
not
force
the
machine. Use
the
correct
machine
for
your
application. The
correct
machine
will
do
the
job
better
and
safer
at
the
rate
at
which
it
is designed. This
equipment
was
designed specifically
to
cut vegetation
and
grass.
Do not use this
equipment
for
any
other
purpose.
Operate
the
product
in daylight
or
good
artificial
light. Walk,
never run.
Never operate a string
trimmer
mower in
wet
grass. Always
be
sure
of
your
footing; keep a
firm
hold on
the
handle and walk;
never run.
Stop rotating the line when crossing gravel drives, walks,
or
roads.
Stay alert, watch
what
you are doing, and use common sense
when operating the machine.
Do
not
overreach. Do
not
operate
the
machine
while
barefoot
or
when wearing sandals
or
similar lightweight footwear. Wear
protective
footwear
that
protects
your
feet and improves your
footing
on slippery surfaces. Keep proper
footing
and balance
at
all
times.
This enables
better
control
of
the
machine
in
unexpected situations.
Never place any
part
of
your
body where
it
would
be
in danger
if
the
movement should
occur
during
assembly,
installation,
operation, maintenance, repair,
or
moving.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets
at
least
50
feet
(15m)
away.
If
you are approached, stop the
unit
immediately.
Trimmer line propels debris at high speed
and
can
cause damage.
Avoid pushing your trimmer over any areas
with
loose stones
or
gravel
as
they may become projectiles.
Do
not
put
hands
or
feet
near
rotating
parts. Contact
with
the
rotating line
can
amputate hands
and
feet.
Always operate the machine from behind, never
pass
or
stand in
front
of
the machine when the engine
is
running.
If
the
unit
strikes a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the
spark plug, thoroughly inspect the machine
for
any damage, and
repair the damage before restarting
and
operating the machine.
Shut the engine
off
and
wait
until the spindle comes
to
a complete
stop before cleaning the discharge area. The spindle continues
to
rotate
for
a
few
seconds after the control lever
is
released. Never
place any part
of
the body in the
trimmer
line area until you are
sure the spindle
has
stopped rotating.
